Here's some pix of my Runner. I redid the engine bay last winter so I have lots of pix to share, LOL. It's an R4 69 with a stock 440 HP. I'm sure everyone I know is sick of these photos, so for those who don't know me... enjoy!

Yup, R4. But the exterior of the car was painted long ago by a previous owner and is a little darker than R4. I didn't realize this till my painter sprayed me a sample of the correct color.... way different!

Nice runner BTW! I have plans myself for an air grabber in the future. I'm gonna have to scrounge up an affordable 3 speed wipermotor and switch before I pursue it any farther.

I believe Vigoda could have been a Mopar guy in his youth

Dude, look at this dancing monkey! :dancing_monkey:

From watching Barney Miller I'm surprised the guy could actually crack a smile...

No... probably just the lighting in the pic... you can tell in person.

R4 is a weird color, some pix it's red, some pix it's orange

LOL, yeah, he was in my Photobucket next to whatever pic I was uploading.... why he's in there, I can't remember.

Basket, I can get you the paint code for the covers this week!

I Agree! Should have left them valve covers the way they were in the first eng. picture.

Why did you put the valve covers on backwards on the repaint???Look at the before and after.
