Roadbird's 1970 Roadrunner restoration.

[Roadbird]

Been awhile since I posted here in this thread so I thought I should keep it up at the front. I've tested the blaster and it's really good in removing the rust, paint and old body filler underneath. I did get some more parts for my RR and I have a friend willing to sell me a Dana 60 for around $500, but keeping it on the low until I get the cash. Thanks and I'll be posting some pics as I continue on my project.

Just picked up the Dana 60 for this 70 Roadrunner project. Still working on getting the Auto Twirler and AMD metal to continue working on Roxanne. Here are some pics.

Thats two of us, ive wondered myself if you were still building the ole girl! I don't think you'll be disappointed with Eastwoods blaster, I bought a smaller version and just one tank (50 pd) but i love it, Ive used quite a bit from Eastwood and been pleased with it all! Good thoughts your way bud!!!

My next Goal after the Twirler and the AMD panels is possibly a 540 Hemi or 572, I'm looking for some where around 750 to 800 hp Hemi for this wicked naughty girl and yes she is giving me a hard time now but I ain't quiting, she has to know who is her master!

Well folks it's been way to long since I posted anything on this site because of commitments and I hardly got anything done except finally completing my 383 with 11.5 to 1 compression ratio. More later on the specifics of the internals and also just completed the 8 3/4 rearend rebuild with a 489 dropout section and 3.23 to 1 gear ratio and all brand new Detroit Locker and green bearings all around and switched to a larger yoke for a 8 3/4. More pics to come after get some time to take them and post them up here.
