NICE! Keep us posted on your progress, looking good.
Just an observation, the N96 cars had 3 spd wipers, I'm sure you knew that being a Mopar nut!

CRAP!! Sweet looking cars. Are you keeping the 69 bird while or the green I see in the door jambs?

 

[Donny]

You should have kept that FF SRT! Get that RR media blasted.

Updates 69 Roadrunner

I forget to show a pic of one part of the bench seat i just recovered. I had to build the seat (padding) around the frame. Then covered with the custom seat covers i ordered from Legendary Interiors. The Roadrunner will be that red with the black hood stripes. I also ordered the door panels in the same colors. I have also since started the resto, decided to buy a new hood, 2 new doors, 2 new front fenders, car came with 2 quarter skins, new upper cowl, complete trunk floor, complete front and rear floor. and now also doing some frame work to the rear, new dutchman panel (panel between rear glass and rear deck lid). It seems to never stop.

Nice stuff! Keep it up!!

 

[TheSwede]

Nice project!
Be careful with the right rear corner so it doesnt hang down and stretches the metal, I have the same problem on my car, it will need a support if you will keep it that way for a while.

Good luck and keep those pictures coming, as help and guide on others project but mostly as inspiration for us all!

With the color combo, Those seats, the whole interior should look fantastic.. There is a member with a 74 RR that is a black car, red stripes and his buckets are red and black, makes it set off the looks really good and legendary interiors are top of the line if im hearing right! I agree with Swede, please keep posting! Always watching, but had to comment on your seat covers, cool...

 

[68bee70rr]

Just some more updates, new front cowl. New right rear frame rail and crossmember.

 

[68bee70rr]

Also just picked up some new super stock leaf springs from Mancini at the Indy show and front disc brake set up. I picked up a 8 3/4 3.55 posi and right stuff fuel and brake lines. Both right and left AMD fenders.Right and left AMD Doors and air grabber hood, inner and outter wheel wells and dutchman panel, gas thank front and rear floors, trunk floors. Since ive went this far i decided to buy full quarters and get rid of the quarter skins that i have because the skins dont cover the drop off (rusted through) just above the trunk gutters . Theres no turning back , im in too deep! I think it would have been cheaper to buy one done or close to it. Sorry all just getting frusterated at times.

 

[68bee70rr]

Just more updates, started using Rust Bullet. Some before and after pics. Not near done, just couldnt wait to try it out.

 

[Propwash]
