1974 Roadrunner Re-Paint and Some Upgrades

[RSMS]

That would be interesting….. i could never do that on my GTX but I have thought about doing something similar on a different project I have. I agree the dual snorkel looks cooler and I’ve wondered why the 440 cars didn’t use them and went with the trap door instead.

Ruh Roo Shaggy. Thanks, You just saved me a **** ton of aggravation. I wanted QA1 but they don’t make them for 73-74. Magnum Force was the only place I found them. Guess it’s back to re build the OEM suspension. Thanks again.

Any opinions on this for the rear?

Yeah, seriously. I’ve dealt with enough rust to know I’m not doing that again. Thirty years in the hobby will do that to you. Maybe someday I’ll find the right 73-74 rr, but it’s not looking good on that front. Any of the rust free ones are so expensive of an ask that it’s basically the same price as a 68-70 b body or even an e body. I can’t justify doing that. Not to mention other brand cool cars or a pre war car I’d like to give a try.

I also think you might be surprised at the rust free cars out there that are cheaper than fixing a rusty one.

Well, I started bangin' metal in 1975. And the rot was already there. Especially in the northeast, rust-free cars are extremely rare.
