Thanks! Ive really spent a lot of time thinking about which way to go before deciding to powdercoat it all. Bumpers will be black as well.

Have you considered a two tone bumper treatment. I did a grey/Black on a previous car and it seemed to be a popular choice. Again... the car is so Awesome !!!

It's funny you mention that as I have been considering just that....perhaps with a wrap of some sort

Dash frame assembly is coming together...

Driveshaft and exhaust went in today...

Looking pretty slick.

I'm really looking forward to riding in this!

Yes Mark! You and me both!


I got new bumpers from AMD and had them powder coated in satin black along with every other piece of stainless trim on the car





I didn't like the contrast of the orange foglight and black bumper so I had the orange lenses tinted and love the way they turned out

The side glass and windshield is in. The rear window is close to being installed. The engine was started up and tuned. It sounds great. After the rear window is installed, it's down to headliner, carpet, and the rear seat. It looks like I should actually be driving it this summer.

Awesome!!! Congrats, looks like you will be on the road soon.
Good luck!

Thanks! I can almost taste it! I'm sure you feel the same way!

Buddy, that is one heck of a job you've done. Impressive. any specific plans as to what to do with it when you're done ?

Thanks although I can't take much credit. I've had some greats friends and professionals who have done the heavy lifting. I've just had a few ideas, did the demolition/cleanup work, and scrounged parts. I hope to be driving it this summer and enjoying it. It's the first one I've actually finished. LOL

I ordered door panels 8 months ago and got them about three months ago, The Roadrunner has been in upholstery limbo since then since the carpet material I wanted couldn't be found in the states and shipping is nearly impossible. I settled on another material and now It's now in upholstery. A rear seat will be fabricated with matching materials to the front seats. all my interior metal parts are out for powdercoating and I am rounding up small pieces. on the left is a Hurst shifter I pulled from one of the cars I parted out about three or four years ago. I ordered up some new pistol grips and installed them...so much better!

I had the car dyno tuned. It's a stock longblock except for an aftermarket camshaft. Stock HP is 425HP and I thought it was making between 475-500 at the crank. It made 406HP at the rear tires, which comes out to approximately 480 at the crank. I think there is some more left in it, but it really won't hook up as is. It's the most fun I've had driving a car.

SWEEET!

Thanks for the updates! And please keep them coming

Awesome!

Now you need a Procharger or at least a little nitrous to really make it fun!

I actually have a supercharger sitting on the shelf....just not sure which 6.1L to put it on...

Out for upholstery at the moment….pics soon

Headliner is in
