Okay, since you asked for it, here it is... but mine isn't as nice as what you're doing, it's just a nice driver.

Hope it's just a LITTLE inspiration for you, keep up the great work!

Thanks, and you're welcome! The car never had any stripes, just the pinned Road Runner emblems and decals on the quarters. Now for some REAL inspiration, here's what the car looked like in 1988.

oofta, ive been neglecting to post updates. Ill have to take more pics this weekend. I've got the rear pretty much all together, ready to bolt under the car and starting to put the firewall together. also, my front suspension is half rebuilt. the bottom side is pretty much done and in a little over a month or so Ill be going to pick up my motor as of lately, Ive been painting tractors on my weekends to to raise money. painted an IH 1026, 1066, 806, 1466 and a case 400 all within 5 weeks haha so time to work on the car is slowed down. still shooting to have it done for mopars in the park in farmington MN. although its probably hopelessly optamistic. doesn't hurt though right?

Man have you got alot of energy. Your roadrunner is going to be awesome. I hope your Dad is recovering well from his accident. I farm myself and I know how quick an accident can happen. Good Luck!

I also used a parkarizing kit to do the black phosphate coating on the backing plates. also being my car originally had 3.23 peg leg, I had to improvise on the markings as I went to a 3.55 sure grip.

leaf springs.. I still havn't done up the one bolt.. I duplicated the daubs on the ends. I also used bill rolik's leaf spring rebuild. top notch quality. I also used a cold gun blueing kit to replicate the heat treat on the springs that I learned how to do off this site.
