I can't move as fast as I used to but here is some progress that I have made. My 73 original Roadrunner was stolen, no chance of recovery because the way they nailed the guy was a scrap metal place security camera, oh well. Picked this girl out of a pasture where she had been sitting 20+ yrs. Originally a 318 car I'm converting her over to a 440 4 speed. Took me a little over 3k to get her running and drove her to Florida from Ga. Still gotta long way to go. What hurt me the most was the A hole who stole my car took all my tools sooooooooo, I've had to replace tools as I go.
Thanks for looking, Kevin.

Thanks :thumbsup:
Since it's a 72, I can keep my K Frame.spent a lot of $ just buying tools. I'm a Retired Disabled Veteran, I only get paid once a month and I've already went over budget for this month, lol. Guess I'll have to wait until next month, unless I start a Go Fund Me Page, just kidding. I could never take other people's hard earned money for my toy.
Thanks again Kevin.
 
I wish you well and I also wish the guy that stole and scrapped your 73 was available so maybe I could help you take out some serious pent up frustration on his dumb ***. :mad:
 
Yeah, the dump a $$ never new what he had. The cops told me he got about $450 for the car, he was a meth head. He doing time for it because just my car was worth over 20k he was sent up 1st degree felony. Now that don't mean he's not getting a good get out of prison party.
 
I had insurance, but my ex spent it on other stuff, that's why she's an ex, lol.
 
Well it seems I've hit a huge bump in the road, guess I pushed myself too hard. I'll have to go back under the knife on Friday.
That sucks.
 
Rooster first off thank you for your service! 2nd prayers are with you on the surgery & 3rd, nice project... youll get it back to where you like!
Hope everything goes well and your back spinning wrenches soon!
 
Well surgery went well, just gonna be down a few weeks. At least it will give a chance to make up a project board so I will have a plan. You always got to have a plan, for all my military brothers, especially combat arms, that's a OPORD, Operations Order. Thanks for Viewing.
Rooster out.
