69 Roadrunner Project

[superbird77]

Hello everyone, i have recently started my 69 roadrunner restoration and wanted to post some pics after the media blasting. As i had thought its pretty solid but will need quarter panel replacement, drivers side inner fender and trunk pan also. Let me know what you think and feel free to share your advice if you see anything. Thanks!

looks like its been in a front end wreck somewhere in the past

It looks like the typical rust issues that we are lucky to have living up here in the rust belt. My current Charger restoration was a Michigan car also. At least you are going about it the right way by media blasting and addressing all the problem areas at once. Make sure you check the front frame for straightness - looks like it took a decent hit in a previous life.

Yeah, i knew it had some front end damage when i got it. I've had a few educated people look at it, they didn't think it was out of alignment. Its not perfect but i feel its worth restoring, hopefully this will be the case.

Car looks like it had a rough life. I'm sure you will change that though. I see by the back pillar that someone welded in a patch or something. Did the car have a light rollover at one point?

Yeah, its a mystery to me on that one. It came from a Montana farm so who knows what type of life its lived. I sure hope its worth restoring, the floor pans and rest of the body are in good shape. I've seen better....i've seen worse.
