68 Road Runner restoration

The newest toy to the collection

About this Mopar:

1968 Plymouth Road Runner Sunfire yellow, black vinyl top , silver and black interior. Was originally an automatic car but someone converted it to a 4 speed. I have replaced the trunk pan and have repaired the inner and outer wheelhouses. I am currently working on the quarter skin installations. Hope y’all enjoy the pictures. 19948152-B6CF-4486-9A18-A83DDE836C0B.jpegA09AA28B-4CBD-4FEE-89B0-B4980809DCFD.jpeg60815C19-20C2-4F46-B35D-34694D1780DF.jpeg1D90064F-B047-4D2C-983D-B8FA673F27E6.jpeg59148EB4-2955-4111-B67E-49052D79D131.jpeg2E26CBEE-A379-47DE-BFBC-83A279514040.jpeg88214E6A-60BD-40AF-8ECC-518426B0B9B2.jpegEEEA4122-BDE5-430D-83A8-EE1C3D3FCACC.jpeg021D18FA-F8C2-4D5D-949B-958BB5A51E83.jpeg82670F3A-C923-4887-8D3E-9BB49B6FB8E0.jpeg78A8DA77-8CBF-4E8B-9230-AC0BF33AF31D.jpeg14B42B6D-EC7E-4F80-B170-03CEB18E6964.jpegThanks.

Closing it up going to put in a hydraulic clutch..Ok here’s a little bit of progress on the bird. Got a little paint shot. Re applied seam sealer to the floor pans. Cleaned and osphoed the floors cleaned the old insulation off the inside roof.. starting to work on welding up a lot of extra holes in firewall and engine compartment. Enjoy and thanks for looking. Here’s some pictures from today. Was able to spray the lizard skin sound deadner in the inside and sprayed a little yellow on the package tray
