It has been a long time since I logged in to moparts. Like many others, work, life, other interests, and some issues with my car led me to taking a break from the car scene. I purchased my roadrunner back in 2008 and it has been an adventure, a struggle, and somewhat of a sad story. The car was in rough shape when i bought her, I didn't realize she was dented, rusty, bent body, and missing most of her wiring when i got her. It was all hidden under a layer of bondo and black paint! The previous owner was very honest about the car and how little he knew about it, she had been a drag racer in oregon for years. The engine was installed but little was known about it either...it was a nice looking 440 that we inspected and ran well.

Congrats on the success! 1969 GTX and roadrunners are my favorites. My little brother had a '69 X. I wished I could have afforded the car and had the money to do it justice.

That is awesome! Congratulations on sticking with it. You are missed from the board and I hope with your new realized success you stay here.
p.s. US mags are an excellent choice
