Got this one in April and finished it up last weekend. It's a 73 true Roadrunner. It was a 318 car but now has a nice 440 in it.
I did everything myself except the body work. I could have done that but I wanted it on the road this summer. I did it on the weekends and spare time. I really like looking at the cars that people take years to get everything just like the factory had it but that is just not me. I would be sacred to drive it if it was that nice.
This one I just wanted it to look mostly factory without all the hassle to make sure each part and bolt is correct.
It was a very solid car with just a little rust in the rear lower quarters. I had a friend of mines body shop do the body work and give it back to me ready to paint. Saved me about 4 weeks work.
I moved the rear bumper in about 1" and up about 3/4" so I could do away with the filler pieces. I painted it in my home paint booth. Replaced the front seat upholstery ( the rear was nice), carpet, headliner, redid the dash and replaced other parts that needed replaced.
I know every one likes pics so here are some of the work. What ya think?
