In August of 2004 I began taking my numbers matching 69 Road Runner apart to have the car done correctly. After getting sidetracked building a streetable '68 Hemi Barracuda and some other distractions I finally delivered the rolling body to Troy Angelly earlier this year to get the car completed. I've only been to his shop once, since then, to see the progress but knowing the quality of work he does I don't worry if the job is being done to the highest standards.

Troy has stayed on my car pretty much full time and it's about to hit the paint booth for some color, W1 over F8. I don't remember 2 tone Road Runners in '69 but approximately 656 hardtops were produced. Troy has been extremely good about taking detailed pictures of all the areas that required attention (probably 239,456 pictures so far)and providing a detailed description of the work performed for each billing cycle. Can't wait to see her in color.

When Troy is done with her then it's off to Paul Jacobs' shop for re-assembly. Paul has already restored all of my components, back in '04 & '05, so we only need a couple of wrenches and about 3 days & it'll be done.....well maybe a few more days.

239,456 pictures! Two hundred thity nine thousand,four hundred fifty six pictures? Dang......that's a lotta pitchers!

I might have overstated the quantity just a little but he has been very, very diligent in providing adequate documentation.

I can't wait to see progress. I know Paul does great work. Keep the updates coming.

Cannot wait to see it done! Good for you!

This is a picture of the car shortly after I bought it in 2001. It was a great driver but had some issues with the quality of the body work and paint. Car looked good from 10 feet but the color was wrong and obviously they got rid of the white top in the repaint. I did not buy it because it was a numbers matching car but it turned out to be just that with the build sheet and fender tag. The original engine had been out of the car for quite some time so it was loaded in the bed of my truck.

I was just wanting a classic muscle car from back in my day (was 19 when this car was produced)and wasn't concerned about correct this and correct that but after decoding the build sheet I found that I had something just a little out of the ordinary.

And this is what the car looked like when I delivered it to Troy, although I put it in epoxy primer after sanding every square inch of metal after coming back from the dip tank. The car was structurally sound but Troy ran into some hidden rust issues that required some TLC.

Glad it's getting closer to paint John, it will be a cool combo with the white roof. After seeing Troy and Pauls work on other cars, you'll be a happy guy.

I was hoping to have it done by the Nats but I don't think we'll make the deadline. So with 2 classic cars in my 3 car garage who's car will now sit out in the weather????? Carol Ann's Galant or Carol Ann's 300???? Maybe Mr. Falcon will let me display the Road Runner at the Chrysler dealership. Hey Gary, are you reading this?...whadda ya think?

Here is one of the latest pictures. I think she should be in the paint booth this week but if not no big deal. I'm just glad to finally get her back to her original condition.

what did you use for quarter panels..any pics of them being hung? how much of the replacement quarter did you use... I need to skin my Coronet just not sure...where to cut

Sorry I didn't respond sooner but I haven't been on my thread for quite awhile. I ended up using full quarters from AMD.

Other side

Stopped by Troy's place on Saturday and it's all done. He did an EXTREMELY good job on this car and I can't wait to get it put together. For such a young man he is very, very talented and very knowledgable about these old muscle cars.

SWEET!!!

Looks great John, can't wait to see it in person.
