My 68 roadrunner restoration

[Scott Kiger]

Awesome car! Keep at it… I’m doing the same. I don’t understand replicating sloppy assembly line graffiti, but to each his own. My Charger and wagon both have paint hangers (runs) on the firewall and there’s no way I’d want to copy that.

I have the time so I figured why not put the things back on it that were there when I tore it down. First time attempting it.

I didn’t mean to single you out. Just in general on restorations and all the paint daubs. I’ve been buying and selling Mopars of late 60’s to early 70’s and saw many original paint and assembled cars. A lot of the A and B body cars had terrible panel fitment, especially the fenders to the door and hood gap. Many had orange peel on the lower doors and rockers. All the restored cars I see don’t look like that. And that’s what everyone sees. Not painted steering linkage studs and rear axle covers. Just an observation. 8^]
