It was nice meeting you and seeing your car in person at our last car cruise in Allentown. I'm the burnt orange 70 GTX guy.
My 70 Road Runner and FBBO in Mopar Action!

If you do make it to Woodward, I will have to meet up with you. The way it is going, I might have the RR done by then! I have my corner staked out, shade in the afternoon and just a few hundred feet from the downtown show. It is a great time.
The wife and I look forward to seeing you there.

Likewise!
You have a super cool story with your GTX being the first car you ever owned. Kudos to you that you kept it all these years!
The Woodward cruise is something that is on my list as a "must do" one of these next couple of years - it sounds like a great time! Hanging out with some FBBO members would make it even better. Us Mopar folks need to stick together!
Congrats, I subscribe to MA and your Road Runner looks FANTASTIC!
Thank you! It is far from a perfect car; it has its share of stone chips and road grime from driving but no better place for these cars than out on the open road!

Did you document your roadtrip? Maybe I'm searching incorrectly, but I can't find anything roadtrip specific (aside from this)?
Sure thing!

Thank you Hawk!
This is pretty much what I want to do with my wagon!

Great!
That's the beauty of FBBO. There are a lot of great restoration threads that can help you choose the type of work to do - anything from 100% stock to wild. Hopefully my thread can be one that helps folks figure out what they want to do, or just as importantly, what they don't want to do. Either is a benefit!
Cheers,
Hawk

When I was at the Carlisle Chrysler National's this year, Cliff Gromer of Mopar Action took an interest in my car, I think primarily because I had a book and other things that documented my trip across country. He did a quick interview with me and I spoke about how FBBO had done so much both to help build the car as well as be my virtual "co-pilot" when I did the trip. He did a quickie writeup and one page feature in Mopar Action.

Congratulations. Very cool. About the only press I ever had was when one of my buddies called me and said, "hey do you know your car is in a racing catalog" and he told me what page # and there it was.
I hope they at least gave you discounts on parts!
