Hey guys im 68greasemnky I am the third owner of a 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner that was handed down to me by my father in the early 90's. He purchased it back in the early 70's. Apparently something happened to the stock 383 and it was replaced with a 360. I soon after replaced it with a built up 440. As many of you know old parts don't usually like newer stronger parts. Shortly after the transmission went out and the old 727 was replaced with a B&M unit. You can see the chain of events coming. Driveshaft went out next and was replaced with a more stout aluminum unit. Yes you guess it the rear end went out also but about this time was when it all stopped for many reasons but I kept the car. So fast forward 25 years give or take engine still turns but the car has not been started. I've been out of this scene for that many years and many of the shops that I use to frequent are long gone. I need your help im in the So Cal, San Gabriel Valley area and I'm searching for a reputable shop to have bodywork done. I'd like to have the rear quarter panels reskinned as right before I stopped working on the car I removed a ton bondo from a "previous repair." Also the rear bottom glass rail has some rust I'm guessing from the vinyl top being undermined that needs tending to. Lastly looking for a shop that could rebuild the old 8 3/4 or if you could recommend a more stout upgrade. Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
