Hey Greasemonkey..can you tell me where you purchased the nos bezels please? They look great and I'd like to contact whatever manufacturer you purchased them from. Too bad I saw your post long after you already sold the bezels...

I'm hoping to go, but it all depends on whether I can get the issue with the Roadrunner fixed ...*sigh*

Re-posting in general tech threads hoping to get a bit more exposure. I'm the first to admit that my mechanical knowledge is slim at best, but I've run into a situation that REALLY has me scratching my head. I'm in Colorado Springs and have been having trouble with my timing. I know that...

All a matter of personal preference, but I like 'em on. When it comes right down to it, it doesn't matter what others like...it's all about what you prefer. Enjoy.

I'm the first to admit that my mechanical knowledge is slim at best, but I've run into a situation that REALLY has me scratching my head. I'm in Colorado Springs and have been having trouble with my timing. I know that altitude plays a part in the issue and I've had the carb re-jetted for...

I've got a guy here in Colorado Springs that will make you a rear bumper filler center piece. He made one for my 74 RR and it turned out pretty damn good! It wasn't cheap ($200), but after searching and searching with no luck whatsoever, I was finally able to find someone here in town that fit...

Thanks very much for the help. I was able to get the emblem out by removing the glove box liner. A bit of a pain, but not too onerous. Unfortunately, the keepers that slide over the emblem pins were beyond repair and I was unable to find any of the right size at the local parts department. A...

Here's hoping someone can give this "mechanically challenged" RR owner. At some time in the past, a previous owner of the 74 RR I own either broke or removed part of the Roadrunner dashboard emblem. I managed to get a new emblem complete with the little roadrunner head, but for the life of me...

I sent my bumpers to ABC Plating Inc in Nevada. $700 complete for both bumpers and the bumperettes. Outstanding work at a very reasonable price.

pm sent

Yeah...I had read that in an earlier thread. I sent two separate emails to restoration specialties but received no response back. I have a line on a plastics company here that MIGHT be able to fab something for me. I'll post the results if I'm successful. For anyone else reading this post...

Looks like I'm not the only one looking. These things are as rare as hen's teeth apparently! I desperately need the rear center bumper filler strip for my 74 RR. If anyone has one for sale or has a SOLID lead on where to get one, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

You shouldn't have a problem putting 275s under your Runner...My 74 RR has 275/60/15s on the back and 235/60/15s on the front. All tires are wearing American Racing 15 x 8 rims. Personally I'm not a big fan of step shackles, but it's all a matter of personal preference. I had the leaf springs...

Thanks YYI. Rear tires are 275/60/15s on American Racing rims 15 x 8 ....the front tires are 235/60/15s..same rims as the rear.

Here's my 74 RR ...getting there a bit at a time...
