    Dad's First Car - '74 Road Runner

    It's been awhile, so I thought it would be a good idea to post an update. Life has been getting in the way, so progress over the summer has been very slow.I started taking the firewall and engine compartment down to bare metal, then things quickly progressed into dropping the subframe to allow...

    Dad's First Car - '74 Road Runner

    If the car is finished by then she will be there. Even without the car I will most likely be there. Beaver is right across the river from me.

    Dad's First Car - '74 Road Runner

    Small progress update, I've been spending some time making room for some new sheetmetal. I cut out the old trunk extension on the driver's side. Looks like I will have a small amount of patching to do on the lip that it welds to, but overall the rest of the metal in this area doesn't look too...

    Almost there! The Charger is looking good. You have to be excited for taking the car for that first drive.

    Dad's First Car - '74 Road Runner

    Thanks for the good words, I can only hope to match the work going on in some of these other threads. Maybe in another 20 years. :toothy6: I have a pile of new metal waiting for me, I just had a new outer wheelhouse arrive on my doorstep. Hopefully some more progress updates this weekend. The...

    Dad's First Car - '74 Road Runner

    Thank guys. It is definitely a great feeling having the majority of the rust in that corner taken care of. My dad stopped by the other night to check on the progress and he was definitely excited to see work moving along. I have a little more work to do in this front corner before I move on to...

    Dad's First Car - '74 Road Runner

    No giving up on this one, this is the same car my dad would put me to sleep with when I was little. The exhaust note that came through the glass packs would knock me right out. I spent a lot of time in the garage as a little kid running through the gears pretending I was driving.

    Dad's First Car - '74 Road Runner

    Thanks! I'm trying to keep the motivation up, all of this work has been over the past few months as I squeeze time in for the car between work and school. The goal is to have the car in paint next year. You're not kidding. I knew there was something there, a lot of the rust had been...

    Dad's First Car - '74 Road Runner

    I'm not going to lie, when I uncovered this cancer in the firewall, I was heartbroken. Thankfully it was all isolated to thin gauge metal, the frame rails are all solid. But finding this definitely hurt. The passenger side is no where near as bad, but everything in the firing line of that...

    Dad's First Car - '74 Road Runner

    So home she came, and disassembly began anew. Out comes some corner cancer. Along with exposing the bodywork that prompted the second teardown. I'm not afraid to admit I did this poorly before, so now it will come out to be done correctly. Thankfully AMD...

    Dad's First Car - '74 Road Runner

    I figured it was time to start a thread charting the progress as I work towards restoring my Dad's first car, a 1974 Road Runner. This old girl has been in our family since 1978. After being used on an everyday basis, she was garaged in 1987 when the rear quarters on the car finally went, and...

    New Reproduction Quarter Pieces 73-74 RR

    They exist, they just never updated their site to reflect it. I ordered my rear section through The Muscle Car Pit Stop in Beaver Falls, Pa. The rear piece is really nice quality, better than I expected. They still haven't produced the middle section of the wheelwell, but any sheet metal at...

    New Reproduction Quarter Pieces 73-74 RR

    I'm sure this has been posted, but did you guys see that autobodyspecialt is now selling reproduction front sections of the rear quarter panels for the 73/74 Road Runner? :headbang: Link to part I just called them up, the part that requires modification is the wheel lip, the bevel is...
