I'm further along than my pics suggest, a person really doesnt know how mutch rust there is until you tear it down, for those who have never done one to this extent like me, its an eye opener, way more repairs have been done than you can see in the pics. Car looked real good to me when I bought her, its like marriage you think you know what you got before, then after well its sometimes a rusty road.

Looking real good. Similar to my 69 X, so much hidden rust in the usual spots. You have a firm grap on her though, keep up the nice work!

Its going to be my last build, when i was 4 years old, my daddy took me out in a Vitamin C brand new 70 Roadrunner he had it until I was six. As a kid all I thought about was having me a bird just like it. I dont have a single pic of that car. But the memories are there, just want to fufill that desire. Then retire.
