New Hi, 68 Road Runner rebuilt

[68rules]

Hey, lots of good info here. Got my car back from the shop for some metal work. Just ripped into the front suspension.
Hitting all the usual snags. Hung on to this car forever way to cool and never sold it thank goodness.
This has been a long time coming and now its time to get down and dirty.
Lots of questions - not enough time. Prob post a few about brakes first soon. Thanks

Well you're in the right place - I call it Mopar University. Tell us more bout your ride. Is that a real six pack?

Mopar University I like that. Not a six pac car, the hood came with her many many moons ago., But I did run a low plane offey dual quad
setup up back in the day. I thought it was fast with one carb..... Factory 4 speed car with 383. took the 3.23s out and put in 3.55s really
glad I did that. It goes much better around town now. Im leaning toward going back to somewhat stock. I have the stock hood and put on the stock carter 4426.

Nice RR! Is that an AMD quarter I see hiding in the back? Looks good. How long ago did you buy the car? I've had mine since 1972! Just now trying to finish her up. Welcome!

Great Ride! There is something special about the first year Roadrunner. Chrysler nailed it BIG-TIME with the Bird!

All, TY,

While the 68 is my first love, I like the 69 and 70 too. Well I like all mopars really, but 68-71 were some great years for these cars .

Hi TY,

Yes they are AMDs back there. Looks much better than what was back there TY. I bought this car back in 83. My reg was dated 94. So I though it was time
to get things going again. Was my main ride at one point. I look back at those times a say how did I do that. But lots of guys had 60s mopars as main rides back in those dayz. Thanks for the shout out, good luck with yours.

I do have lot of pics, I see they added music back in on my video, it shows what a real rescue mission my car was. US steel
where it counts. As I was waiting for the car to come back home this AC/AD song came to mind so I used it.
