69 Road Runner Restore

[69 roadrunner]

Here are some pics the car didn't look bad at its what I called a 20 20 car 20 mph and 20 feet. I painted it 18 yrs ago and was time to redo it. The kids are grown and I had the wifes bleasing so here we go. I will keep pics coming as the body shop send them to me. The motor is a fresh 440 about 550hp. The car should run out well.
