I decided to add some pics of my roadrunner resto on the forum. I bought the car and it was a nice #2 driver car. I guess I am picky with my cars as I always seem to want #1 show cars.

Here is what it looked like when we started...

Lots of original parts in great shape on this including full numbers engine, tranny and rear end so this one is going back 100% original to the fender tag, so the color must go as well as the hood strips and tires.

We are trying to build the nicest 69 roadrunner out there so let's see what we can do.

If you are going to restore it then you should do it right or else the next guy will have to..
Just a few pics of the 15 month restoration. I will upload more when I get a break from work.

Man that is looking sharp. Are you the one who was trying to decide if you wanted to change the yellow back to original Y2 a couple of years ago? If so, you made the right decision.

I am a crazy stickler for perfect gaps and perfection with metal work... it makes body work much easier when you get it as perfect as you can in metal. Keeps bodywork to a minimum

Sorry I have moved and been delinquent in updating this thread. I'll be posting new pics this week!

This restoration is being done by Carolina Classic Restorations- Vic Calvert.
Vic and his crew worked for a big Mopar only Restoration Shop for many, many years before opening their own shop a couple years ago. My car was the 1st car they took in after they opened the new shop.
