I'm new to this site.

[Mopar Grandpa]

From my user name some of you know of me on Moparts but since I have a 69 Road Runner I thought this site would be more in line with my specific car. I hope I can help answer some of your questions and I'm sure some of you can help me with my questions.

Welcome.

You will like it better here. No premedonnas, no bashing, no armchair appraisers posting every new Ebay listing and telling everyone cars have no value, not many purist gripping because you don't have the CORRECT hose clamps on your car, blah, blah, blah. Just a bunch of car guys that love em.

Only lurked for a few minutes but I know most Mopar folks are decent people and felt like this site would have a good group that wouldn't try and force their "professional" opinions down your throat.
Thanks for all the welcomes and by the way, I am a Grandpa but I'm really not old.

Those are the kind of guys (and gals) I like to be around. My cars aren't perfect but I do enjoy them.

This is my RR before I dropped it off at the body shop.

This is the car as it currently sits, just needs the windshield and back glass installed and it's done. This is a numbers matching car with 2 tone paint which is somewhat rare.

I did the tear down, had it acid dipped and hand sanded every square inch of metal and then put it in epoxy primer. I assembled the engine after Indy Cylinder Head did all the machine work. I am not a body & paint man so I took it to Troy Angelly. Once he had it in paint it went to Paul Jacobs for assembly. I was supposed to be involved with the assembly but my schedule and Paul's never worked out so he did everything. At least I know there weren't any corners cut on this restoration.
