Hello all! Finally had some time to get my project posted up on moparts for all to see. I admit, I started the car a little over a year ago so I do have some stuff done already so bare with me..

First off: My name is Kevin Link. I am currently 20 years old, I work with my dad on our family dairy farm and work a second job as a tractor mechanic at our local McCormick tractor dealership. I became a mopar fanatic when my dad bought his T/A challenger when I was 8. My dad and I restored our first car together (70 real triple black charger r/t) when I was 11, and we've since done 6 restorations. I have a wonderful girlfriend that I should point out whos been with me through thick and thin

The car: The car is a 1971 Roadrunner 340 automatic car. originaly GW3 bright white with a gold bench interior. came with rr decore group, a/c, hood pins, 150 speedo, single chrome mirror and 14" rally wheels. car came from wyoming so is relativly rust free! Unfortunatly, as I kind of peiced together, the original motor got froze up so that is long gone..

Plans for the car: I dont plan to stray too far from the fender tag. I plan to keep it simple with the only aditions I plan to make externally is duel painted mirrors, front and rear spoilers and exhaust tips. As for the interior, I am going with buckets with a buddy seat, 15" rallys, factory tach and 6 way seat. I figure that all of this should be relativly easy to turn back if I ever wanted to. One more thing I should point out is that I also plan on building a FAST legal 340 for it but that wont be comming into the picture for a wee bit.

I dont really have a time line to get the car done, but as impatient as I am, Im hopeing it will be done in the spring sometime. I will do my best to keep current pictures up, so please sit back and enjoy. also, please dont be afraid to critique! Thanks

rear

engine bay.

interior

starting to strip it down..

also should ad it was pretty much original paint

interior all gone!

dash out

although for the most part it wasn't rusty, the window was left down while it sat and the carpet got soaked resulting into some rusty floor pans

more

I will never use anything else but AMD

welding..

found some rust in the windshield channel..

continued stripping the paint and was really suprised with how clean the body was!

in the mean time, Im buying some parts. When I got the car, it had a pair of 390 date coded rallys in the front and 15x8 in the rear. I was lucky enough and found another pair of 1971 dated 390 rallys from a fellow moparts member!

peiced together a correct dated intake/ carb and a 340 air cleaner. NONE of which were cheap!!!

found an ember gold buddy seat

now is the fun stuff. found a set of slightly used polyglas G-60's on craigslist. I refinished the wheels and got the tires mounted.

spare tire. I know it isn't the correct 450 wheel but I didn't see the point in spending big bucks for a spare haha. tire is a 1972 dated polyglas I scored on craigslist also for $50 shipped!

had my rally dash restored by auto instruments. If anyones read some of my previous posts, I didn't have very good luck with them. Needless to say, I need to send out my roadrunner emblem again. I wont go into details of the story, but the end results aren't too bad.
