After reading Matt's thread and reading yours, I'm about dizzy! Wow, what an incredible about of work y'all have done to bring these cars back to new. :tiphat: As for being hot in Longview.....c'mon on down a but further to the Houston area where the humidity is nearly the same as the temps are lol.

Thanks Cranky. All the work keeps me out of trouble I guess :weg:. Houston would be almost suicide for a Great Lakes guy like me. Don't know how you do it. I Like the Dirty Hairy pic by the way.

I'll be listening for the sound of war trumpets. I can hear angry bee's stirring already.....LOL.

good to see you back from your savaticle, you mentioned the heat in texas dont you live in wisconsin? around here its been in the mid to upper 80's and pretty humid as well. im glad ive got mine out of my garage and to the body shop where i'll be painting (or my father) it. now i just need to get my old man to go to the shop for more than just a few hours a weekend so i can finally get mine painted. i cant wait to see how yours turns out at the rate you've been going (when your here) you should be doing body work before the summer is over.

Thanks for the compliments fella's. Guess I'm a bit of a workaholic Stuart, or maybe just a glutten for punishment? Wish work would slow down a bit so I could spend a bit more time on the Roadrunner, but I guess there is worse problems to have. Definitly better than the alternative.

I really look forward to see your projects unfold on here Scott and Ben. Still have a few parts to round up myself. I'd help you out in a heatbeat Ben (no charge!). Hope all is going well with your disassembly. I know there is a ton of great folks to get parts from on here. General and BillRT just to name a couple have been great to work with. Stand up guys.

Morbid, you ain't kidding about the friggin humidity around here. Oshkosh dry out yet? I saw you guys got like 4 inches of rain in 4 hours wednesday. That town must be a wreck, all the construction now compounded by half the streets shut down because they're flooded. I've been following your thread on the GTX....Nice work! That firewall job turned out awesome. I'm no color GuRu, but is that Hemi Orange you decided to go with. Either way-nice choice.

Got a bit more work done on the roadrunner tonight. Pretty much got the drivers side outer wheelwell cut down just the the passenger side now. i'll toss up some more pic's after I get the new wheelhouses welded on. After that, the trunk extentions, then the rearcrossmember.

You guys have a great weekend!

well our streets are dry but there are still people pumping water out of their basements i guess i got lucky this time since my road (costing me 7k) just got redone in front of my house with all new larger storm water sewers and ya i am going hemi orange with my gtx i love the hot colors mopar used but i see to many sassy grass greens and plum crazies around any local shows but the only orange mopes i see around are general lee replicas. so thats why i chose orange

 

[Propwash]

Pretty sick all weekend but managed to get the pass. side outer wheelhouse installed today. Cleaned up surrounding area, applied rust bullet, and then also some rubberized undercoating on the welds and heat affected zone. Sorry not too descriptive folks...gotta get some rest...Take care

Tac Tac Tac and tac again....gotta be the most boring part, creating hundreds of tacs till ya end up with one full weld
