Progress on my Road Runner.

[OldFireGuy]

My pal has been busy. All the body work has been completed, engine compartment, under hood, door jambs and trunk area all painted. Exterior needs to be blocked and final sanded, then on goes the color.

It's the factory 'Sunflower Yellow', same color it was, the phone camera makes it look lighter than it is.

Found this picture of my 'fleet' of rides, from 1974 I think. I bought the Road Runner from my then girlfriend's brother, who got it as a graduation gift in '69. I bought it in 1972. Was my daily driver (when it ran) for almost 10 years.

Sweet. Love the slots. They have become my favorite. Nothing to do with them being on my RR. Lol

I'm torn between returning to the slotted aluminum or going to Magnum 500s. I've already decided against 22s.

[whayden2003]

Slots for life.

I'm going back to a stock pan and the mildly upgraded 383, Isky can, Edelbrock intake Hooker with headers, seen here being test fitted before sending the car to paint. The wheels will be upgraded to 15s, most likely slotted mags, no crazy tires.
