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.

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.
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

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.
Well she is finally in the green and white. I've attached a couple of pictures of it before the top was painted. Troy just painted the top this evening but don't have any pictures yet. He hasn't wet sanded or buffed her yet but the shine looks pretty good as it sits. I'll see the car on Saturday on my way back from Georgia. First of the week it goes to Paul's shop and the re-assembly will begin. I'm hoping to have it done by the Indy Swap meet in March. It will be with the cars from the Indy Mopar Club, I hope!
