    FOUND no longer needed please delete

    I have seen an Offenhauser w/ 2 Edel. 600's in a local Craigslist ad. It caught my eye, but passed as I still need to spend more time looking into my 383's internals before considering other improvements. It's probably not exactly what you're look for, but thought I'd mention it- just in case...

    1971 B-body front frame rails

    Having seen this, decided to throw in my 2 cents: I have been on the hunt for subframes (actually F & R) for a 71 B Body, and asked around, including a couple of manufacturers- and was pretty much told I should look into this further. -Thought I was. Anyway, ran across the Ontario based Nat'l...

    SOLD 72 Satellite 4D front frame, inner fender, cowl assembly.

    Good evening- I have a rusty '71 Roadrunner, and I am pretty certain this would be an exact fit (??). I would like to purchase this- as long as I may have a week or so to get over there. I am in the Kansas City area, so flexibility in getting there is no issue, I just don't have my own...

    71 Roadrunner Chassis Repair

    That appears to be exactly what's necessary to repair the front end of this Roadrunner- Thank you so much. !!. Quick question: Noting that I am quite green to the notion of dealing in major surgeries such as this. Is the removal/replacement of the front end as depicted in this item...

    71 Roadrunner Chassis Repair

    Thank you for the tip- I couldn't get to the link, but I'll take another shot at it- that seems like a pretty good option for this little project.

    71 Roadrunner Chassis Repair

    I do have the tag- though to profess total ignorance, I noticed that when I'd seen tag images, they typically had an entity redacted (lower RH corner?). Is that it case? If so- is this a sort if identity fraud protection effort? ...Hoping I got this right(!!): PS- When I initially...

    71 Roadrunner Chassis Repair

    Much appreciated! That provides a great deal more detail than the little schematic that I had.

    71 Roadrunner Chassis Repair

    I had the opportunity to look thru your build here, and am quite impressed. I had hoped that the series of jack-stands may get me by- at least 'til I found something that warranted much deeper surgery. Alternately, I had been looking at various frame carts, wondering of those would be a...

    71 Roadrunner Chassis Repair

    Thanks for the info- I believe I will. I just quickly rolled across your info (& CT's), and find that this will be immensely beneficial to me. I have no idea what the structure was supposed to look like beneath the superficial. I'm feeling a slightly more confident in taking puzzle apart...

    71 Roadrunner Chassis Repair

    Thanks for the info- This is all new territory for me. I believe this car spent her formative years around here (Kansas)- and they REALLY like to spread rock salt all over the roads whenever there's a possibility of wintry weather. It helps traction a little- usually, but just eats cars. As...

    71 Roadrunner Chassis Repair

    Thank you both for the info! This is all new territory for me (this Roadrunner & posting on forum-site). Glad to hear that it's not impossible- I'd prefer to take this on myself as opposed to taking in to a shop- I'd guess hardly anybody at any local shop has even seen on of these before. I'm...

    71 Roadrunner Chassis Repair

    Very new to the unibody world- so pretty concerned about the preferred approach to repairing the frame/chassis on this newly acquired 71 Roadrunner. I have not had much opportunity to dig into the car- but I do know that the front driver's side frame rail appears to be a candidate for...

    A steep curve

    A quick question related to the current status of this car: are there any elements of the vehicle that ought to remain in place until the known frame & cross-member issues are stabilized/repaired? I am even hesitant to remove the bumpers at this point- just in case they're helping keep things...

    A steep curve

    Thanks to you all for the warm welcome. I'll take a few photos & post them: as suggested, it's be a great idea to have a before-during-after. With luck, it will be apparent which is the "before." Finally captured a couple of glamour-shots: The firewood is hopefully not a permanent addition...

    A steep curve

    Thanks for the welcome to the forum. I've just acquired a 71 RoadRunner that's in pretty rough shape. I've been advised to connect with this site as a great resource. Knowing that my "new" car was going to need at least 1 frame rail replacement was one thing, but getting everything together...
