`70 road runner, FC7, 383, 727 It`s waited long enough, finally time to get it done.

Nine days till the two kids are back in school and I can get some more garage time! :p Should be last skim coat of mud, once dry and sanded down i can get epoxy on the upper cowl area. Next up is to finish the outer front fender well areas and engine bay.

The super fun, glamorous job of stripping and sanding the firewall with grinder, DA and fingers.:rolleyes:

Stripping and sanding the door jambs and rocker panels, couple small dents and some surface rust but nice and solid.

Before I start spraying epoxy I wanted to go back and weld in the wire covers that I didn't do while welding in the floor pan. Drivers side is done but ran out of time today to do the passenger ones. Hopefully have the jambs, rockers and floor in primer this weekend.

I had not bolted in the rear end due to the undercarriage needing a small spot blown in with epoxy but I got that done when I was spraying the rockers so in it went.

It's a long ways off from needing tires but I wanted an idea of what my chrome slots were going to look like on there.

I may do something similar to what I did on my Barracuda's center caps but FC7 instead of EV2 but may come up with another idea???

FYI - when you bolt in an 8 3/4 rear onto a bare shell it makes the back a bit heavier, I found that out real quick when I lowered the jack and it started to do a wheelie! :eek: luckily I twisted the jack handle to stop it and repositioned the jack stands from under the rear seat area to the axle housing without any major incident.
