New here from MN. Saw somebody from CA gets up in the morning and its 49 and cold. Been a few months since we saw 49. -21 couple mornings this week, but heat wave coming Monday.........32 degrees. In March 1968 I was Mopars target buyer. 19 years old, completed business school, first REAL job and needed good, cheap new car. Like majic, a roadrunner, 2900 bucks brand spanking new. I beat the tar out of that for 3 years, sold it and went different route. Nearing retirement I decided I better do something to stay busy so bought a 68 roadrunner on ebay (thats a whole other story). Tore it all apart, got body redone and painted and now in reassemble mode. I have spent alit of time on forums and truely appreciate member and their sharing of expertise. I retired an OTR truck driver so doing this all on my own would have been a MESS. I read guys like photos, i guarantee nobody want to see this grizzeled 73 year old, onry cuss.
 
Welcome Pete!

Yes, there are lots of helpful people here who can give advice as you restore your 68.

Yes, we like photos! I'm sure people will be asking about some photos of your car, both when you got it and its current state.

There is also a thread linked below where you can attach a photo of your grizzled, 73 year old cuss self of you like!

@Petes 68 runner Welcome from NJ! Yes, we want photos of your car.
 
Welcome from Missouri!! You can't help what you look like, I'm the cutest guy here and it only goes down hill from me. Show us this car and good luck!!
 
Welcome from PA, another truck driver here, nearing retirement, with a '68 GTX. Born too late, I had to buy mine used.
 
Welcome Pete. I got a brother in Minnesota, he's most likely sitting on ice reeling in fish right now.
 
Welcome aboard from Illinois Pete! There's more than a few of us old cusses here with Mopars in all stages of good, bad & ugly. One way or the other, past & present pics of your 'runner will be appreciated. Glad to have you along for the ride.

Welcome from North Florida...
Hey when I was a framing carpenter here in Florida in my 20's I looked like a bronze god but now I look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
Post some pictures of the car when you get a chance !

Welcome aboard from Ohio, Pete. I bought mine in ‘68 also; but I kept it!
 
Welcome. From another Minnesota kid. '69 GTX. Not a trailer queen. But a decent driver. I putt it up to the North St. Paul Friday night thing at least once every summer.
