Thought Id start posting the progress on my dad and my newest project.. This will be an incredible car when done! First off, Its an original V-code 1970 Roadrunner coupe. Original equipment is sparse but include hemi orange paint, black Belvedere 'taxi' interior, 440+6/ 4 speed/ super track pack (4.10 dana) dust trail stripe, 15x7 rally wheels and AM radio. Little back story.. The car originally was bought new somewhere around Prince George, BC and pampered for the first few years. It was soon sold to the second owner and used it as a weekend drag warrior. Apparently within the first couple months, the second owner managed to grenade the original motor, destroyed the hemi 4 speed and wrecked the original dana! It was hacked apart, ran hard and put away wet. Somewhere along the line, it received mini tubs, frame connectors, in-board spring, 'elephant ears', and some shoddy body work here and there. Im not sure when it went into retirement, but it traded hands a time or 2 until I made the 4,400 mile round trip to acquired it in 2009. I then accumulated most of the parts to make the car complete as my intentions were to restore it, but priorities changed so I put it up for sale. With no luck, my dad came through and offered to buy it! Well, as soon as I finished up my 71 roadrunner project, dad rolled his car into the shop and started on it this last winter. The car will be restored to a nice driver condition as my dad isn't quite the purist as I am and likes to drive the crap out of them He won't be straying from the build sheet at all, but he isn't too concerned about date codes and such which makes it easier to do. I hope you enjoy

some of these pics are from the previous owner, I never really got the chance to get much pictures before dad started tearing it down. the hood isn't suppose to have the black out, it was added in at one point..

mocking up 1/4 panel. overall fit wasn't terrible.. needed a little mending here and there, but nothing that couldn't be remedied.. original was full of bondo, brazing and rust.

that's pretty much where we are at for now. the 440 he's using is just about assembled- going with a basically stock rebuild, and the hemi 4 speed is also rebuilt, ready to go. The plan is to have the car in paint yet this summer and I believe he wants it wrapped up by spring, but you know how that goes.. but at his pace, I bet we wont be waiting too long. more posts to come!

I remember when that car was for sale. I really like the way it is optioned. I really like the coupes with the el cheapo interiors.
I am glad to hear it is getting done and I will be following the progress.
How are the doorpanels? They are unique and hard to find in nice shape.

Very cool Kevin, glad to see it finally getting worked on. You know how badly I wanted it! Did JW ever make good on the fender tag?
haha I know you wanted the car! I wish we could have done a deal with the maxi, but things were really messed up back a few years ago but no he didn't after numerous attempts to get a hold of him and even going as far as messaging him through facebook I haven't had any luck.. I still have a picture of the original tag along with the build sheet in hand, but being a lynch rd car, the sheet is way more important anyway.
Having the original tag or a picture of it is one of the only circumstances that would justify a replacement tag IMO. I know not everyone will agree, but I'd get one done up if that were the case.
...don't give up on the original; maybe the guy will grow a conscience.
Dave
with you, 100% I'm kind of suprised that JW didn't send you the tag.
No doubt about the originality here

I have no idea why he wouldn't send it. It was with the car when the agreement to buy it was made and when I went to go make the trip out, he went to the drawer where he kept it and it wasn't there. told me he'd send it later when he found it but never did (even after offering a finders fee for it..) since then, he moved to california and got a different email and phone number. He wont respond to any of my messages. Like I said, Im just glad the build sheet is with the car and a picture of the tag exists.
We've been doing some more welding on the car, drivers 1/4 is all welded in. all that's left to do welding wise is to replace the drivers floor pan and patch in where the frame connectors came through the floor. Depends on when we have to make hay, its possible we might be done in a week or 2. At that, We'll get the car interior, trunk, engine bay, jams and bottom side cleaned up, primed and painted correctly.

Havnt been posting in a while but still been picking away at the car. Motor is almost done. Used a date coded block that came with the car. Nothing radical, but it has the stock rotating assembly, cant recall piston brand off hand but compression should be in the ball park of upper 9's. Cam is a mopar performance purple cam, and it going to run 452 heads with an original chrysler aluminum intake. Should be a tad better than stock anyway..

Rest of body is now in primer. Some blocking to do obviously but a big step anyway. Should hopefully be in paint by the end of september.

Again, to me, this is where the hard work paid off haha. Its sunny out today, ill see if i get time to roll the car out and get better shots of it. a week from today, we're going to haul it down to get the headliner put in and have the seat covers done up. currently have the front suspension tore down and plan to have it done so we can load it up on a trailer. some wet sanding and buffing to go and the engine dyno is coming up. things might slow down a bit being we got beans to combine, but still aiming on the car being done to drive in the spring

it has a steel crank, 6 pack rods, a mopar purple cam, 456 heads (unported) and an a12 aluminum intake. I cant recall the pistons in it, but it is pretty close to 10-1 compression (we cc'd it) the machine shop had it balanced out. not exactly the build I would have done, but dad didn't really want to go too far from a stockish build.

Got the front rebuilt. I normally would have bolted the motor to it first and drop the car on but i needed to get it rolling to take down for headliner install. Probably just drop the motor in from top now and boot tranny on from underneath. The k frame had one heck of a nice dent right in the middle from what i assume was from a balancer dropping on it.

And last for now, just a pic of the car outside. Still some wet sanding and buffing to do though.
Dyno coming up soon and then probably freshen up the rear as well.

Also dynoed the motor. 426 hp and 491 tq. Not shabby for a stockish motor we played with the timing, jetting and different things and this was the best compromise. did see tq get up to 498 and hp did hit 435 at one point. also, the dyno guy wasn't the best at spelling...

Soo today we painted up the motor and started putting some stuff back on. Funny story, had some paint from Frank Battleson left over and ran short. I had some persion orange and IH red on hand so i mixed the 2 together and got it to match (from what i can tell) perfectly.

The reason I mentioned exhaust is because it would be a shame to choke up such a strong runner. After discussions with some of the PSMCDR 6 pack front runners, I went with the tried and true 2.5" mandrel bent TTI with Dynomax ultraflows and couldn't be happier. I'd bet that my exhaust, with HP manifolds, flows better than the stock 2.25" compression bent pipes with baffle type stock mufflers and headers. A good muffler shop can probably do a decent job on the 2.5" pipes, but I'd strongly recommend the Ultraflows. Here's a video of mine; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofma0go-jJk Dave

That sounds pretty sweet! I had tti 2.5 and ultraflos on my 71 fast 340 runner amd was very happy too, but my dad will probably have a hard time splurging for them. Ill try and swade him either way.

Still been working on the runner, just seems like its been a lot of stuff not worth posting about. Pulled the dana out to give it a good cleaning and repaint. Took the cover off and everything looked like new yet. After all, it did come out of an a12 in the mid 70's with low miles!

The leaf springs were rebuilt as well. As mentioned earlier, this isnt going o be a 100 pt show winner, but a nice driver. Hence the reason we painted the springs..

Got the rear back under the car with new rubber on it. 255/60/15 in the back, 225/60/15 in the front. The trim rings are wheel vintiques (sp?) of course there is the gap in the middle but there doesnt seem to be a better alternative other than track down expensive originals.

Lastly, a close up on the headlight bucket to show contrast in colors. More updates to come, hopefully when the motor is in.

Im sure what I did isn't 100% correct, but it looks good IMO. I used Krylon graphite Textured shimmer #2521 and Krylon Silver Textured shimmer #2522 for the paint. pop the trim off, lightly sanded the grill to get the old paint off as much as I could. Then I gave it a bacth in soapy water and let dry. Used adhesion promoter and them primed it. After primer dried, I sprayed the light argent and black first. I did it this way because I figured it would be easier to mask off than the gilled part. When that dried, masked off said areas, and sprayed the graphite. I went front the back side first to assure coverage without getting the paint too heavy and then moved to the front portion. Like I said, it probably isn't the most accurate, but It will look nice in front of the car.

Sorry havnt posted sooner but the motor and the rest of the driveline is pretty much done. Waiting on the dash cluster to get here and we can wrap up the interior. Still need to bolt on the front clip as well, but everything is moving along nicley.
Btw, the air cleaner lid never got repainted. Had sort of a neat original patina to it so we'll probably leave it

Ya things are moving pretty smoothley! If all goes well, should go from start to finish in little over a year.
I know some people on here are going to get their undies in a bundle, but we had a reproduction tag made since the original tag had gotten lost. Its pretty stinking close to the original and we were not trying to deceive anyone by adding codes.

Alright, so the car is pretty much done. Other than getting windshield blades and snapping the wipers on theres no other task to be done (unless a querk pops up) we pulled the car in the shop last late march and 12 and a half months later its in it former glory. Put about 10 miles on it today with no issue to boot. We plan on having it out at mopars in the park next month so stop and visit.

Thanks guys! It wasn't built to be perfect, but a nice example of a driver, and it will do just that.

Wisconsin in dang near Canada anyway, eh? haha I remember crossing the boarder to get into Canada when I got this car and was asked by several people if I was originally from there due to my accent! That was 6 years ago I picked this car up already..

Ha! I had a few of those stickers myself! I used to go to that track and hotlap on Friday evenings. Pretty much never shut the car off for an hour if you didn't want to. Good way to practice squeezing the lights.
