1968 Road Runner

[pr0f3ssor]

Currently working on my Road Runner. Getting ready to send out for body work. Recently installed fully built transmission from Bob Mazzolini. I will keep everyone updated.

She's a little bit rusty but looks like it can be saved. I see it looks like someone put on a 69 fender (right) at one time. Is the bodyshop doing all the work? I think that is the first time I've seen rust like that on the dash panel. Wish you the best on this project and keep us updated with pictures.

That's a 69 grille as well- and I think the hood is a 69 (airgrabber holes). Looks like a solid car- glad to see another bird coming back to life!

I got nos 68 fenders and hood. Body shop is replacing the passenger quarter panel and repairing the windshield and dash. I am currently looking for a 68 grill. Looks to be in worse shape than it is.

Looks like a project alright. I'm surprised the floor boards look to be in such good shape considering the condition of the windshield channel and dash. Is the body shop getting it media blasted? Be sure to keep the pics. coming.

Welcome to the site Professor . A lot of guys restoring 68 cars here.

'68s are my favorite. That one doesn't look too bad at all, it's crumpled up all the way around more then anything else. Make sure you inspect those A pillars all the way down to the tops of the rockers.

That's what I was thinking.

Good luck with it.

Sent her to the body shop today. Replacing both quarters, both door skins and any cancer that is on the car. Should be complete in a month or so. I will upload pics when I visit the body shop.

I'm thinking about going hot rod black on the car until I'm ready for paint. I'm doing more of a resto mod but I want the original paint and interior. Rr2 burgundy with d4s silver black interior.
