I started off with a rough project, Screenshot_2015-07-13-16-34-26.jpgScreenshot_2015-05-22-09-11-16.jpgit was yellow but got a really bad B5 paint job somewhere along the way. The rust was in all the usuall places so new floor, new qtrs, new fenders, new hood, new trunk, new rear rail panel, some body stiffening and subframe connectors.20150306_090636.jpg20150306_090745.jpg20150211_143556.jpgThe engine bay was next, a little paint, a big engine,20141007_105019.jpg20140911_173127.jpg20150205_123014.jpgThen we needed to make sure Dana was ready,20150205_120631.jpgshe is a beautiful thing. The Borla mufflers and exhaust was next,20150205_120604.jpgNext I needed somewhere to sit so the interrior went in, leather/vinyl buckets original back seat and all else new. Of course there was the disturbance in the neighborhood with the maiden voyage, those 3:73 gears and a 4 speed really woke up things. Next was get it ready to paint,20150418_091928.jpg20150418_091958.jpg20150418_091941.jpg20150418_160118.jpg20150421_200524.jpg Put all the chrome and trim on it and take it outside.20150504_084203.jpg I have 100 miles on it now and love it, so I put Wilwoods on the front this last weekend,20150710_132915.jpg20150713_162022.jpg

Very nice looking Bird, congrats and enjoy! :headbang:
 
Yes I'd say you've done some beautiful work - I know this is a compacted look - but it's a great look not less. Nice RR. Enjoy
 
Very nice, and one of the first posts I have seen where the entire restoration was covered in one post! Beautiful bird - I am sure it is a blast to drive!
 
Great job. Looks beautiful. Hope she pins your head back when you punch the pedal !!!!
 
This is a very nice transformation from start to finish! Very nice looking Road Runner! I'm sure that you are enjoying the ride. Thanks for sharing this with us. It gives me inspiration.
 
Outstanding! I can only dream of being that far down the road with my Coronet...I am soooo jealous. Paint booth colors look much different from the sunlight shots..I will have to remember that when I get to that point. Enjoy the ride, show her off and keep egging us on. Thx
 
Thanks for the nice feedback, I did all the work and paint in the finished shop at this house I bought, the seller just added a big RV garage then moved. After the 2 stage paint came wet sanding and buffing. I just got back from a road trip with my next project.20150717_153159.jpg
