Glenn1 08-29-2010, 03:20 PM Hello again,
I thought I'd try to keep a thread on my Roadrunner project.
A little recap:
This Roadrunner was bought about 15 years ago with the idea of getting it running. I think the car is complete nothing missing, however, the guy I bought it from said it did not start. (fair enough). The car is a 383 with an auto, white interior.
The Plan:
Take the car apart to see what I have to work with. So far I have the front off and removed the motor.
detmatt1 08-29-2010, 03:29 PM Very kool, I love the `68's and will enjoy watching this resto. Let me know if you need any help, advise or even parts, I have some stuff left-over from the "DOGS" resto. Also love the white interior, mine will be white over black.:grin:
Propwash 08-29-2010, 09:28 PM Looks like a great project Glenn. Can't wait to see your story unfold.
northerndave 08-30-2010, 06:41 AM what's the fancy shoot'n stick leaning against the garage there?
Glenn1 08-30-2010, 08:45 AM I had to laugh when I looked at my own pictures, I did not notice that in the background. The stick is one of those Gammo pellet guns.
Glenn1 08-30-2010, 08:56 AM A few pictures of the engine area. I was happy to see everything looked pretty solid.
Donny 08-30-2010, 09:18 AM Wow, can't wait to see this! Nice. Also, I noticed either an old MOPAR oil filter, or, a Purolator one, at any rate, if it's a Purolator filter, they were the rage in the early 80s.
moparstuart 08-30-2010, 09:52 AM great car , NICE
Glenn1 08-30-2010, 11:28 AM The last time this car saw the road was 1980, well according to the license tabs anyway.
roadrunnerman 08-30-2010, 09:58 PM nice looking 68 to start a resto with.hope you don't have too many hidden surprises.
Meep-Meep 08-30-2010, 10:43 PM Yeah, nice car and looks very complete! My 68 is originally white with black interior and top. I see you even have slot mags. Mine had them when I got it back in 82 and looking at some old pictures I think it looks really good. I think I'm going back to slots!

69R/Tcharger 08-31-2010, 08:00 PM looks like a great starting point, good luck on the project!!
northerndave 09-03-2010, 06:47 AM Looking good Glen, keep after it!!
Glenn1 09-03-2010, 11:36 AM Thanks everyone,
Well, it was a good weeks vacation, I did not work on the car everyday, however , I got a good start. Motor was removed and had a chance to talk to a shop for engine rebuilding. The rest of the front is off up to the doors and I also found a guy to blast the whole car once its apart. Its also looking like I might not have to replace the whole floor, so far it just soft in the pedal area.
furious satellite 12-03-2010, 06:03 PM looks like a good project good luck
