Neato Stevo! Have fun with your car. Looks like you're off to a great start. You can't go wrong with a '69 RR - great car.

Nothing to glorious today. After work feeling a little burnt but still wanted to take a step forward. These sills have been pissing me off for a little while (Tripping over them getting in n out). So I decided they gotta go. Stupid screws where stripped out so I had to use my drill and extractor to remove em. Easy work but I like to do atleast one thing a day Tomorrow will be a little more productive.



I'm a glazier by trade. But have been putting up some flashing. Hopefully I can get my body panels to line up as good as my flashing I tempted up and cut today. Multiple straight pieces on a radius wall

Also cleaned all the parts I had laying in the trunk. Just tons of trim and interior pieces which I moved into a space in the house.
Only cancer in the trunk is in the deep valley of the trunk pan.


Also kind of double checked around for a broadcast sheet. Really bummed on missing that sheet and the fender tag. Been trying to get in contact with all the previous owners trying to somewhat trace it back. The owner of surf city garage owned this car as a parts car. Wish he would get back to me.

Someone at some time after the crash swapped in a 318/904. It's going to be pulled out and sold. But I'm curious as to what it came out of, All I know is it is a premium fuel 318 according to part of the numbers on the block

Oh...and I took all the front end sheetmetal off ;p

 

[Stevo427]

Posted all my front end sheetmetal on craigslist if anyone was interested. I'm going with new metal upfront so no need for it. Sattelite hood definitely has no use on my car so its all going. Also the engine

Congrats on you find Stevo. I also recently found and bought my dream car as well, a 69 Roadrunner. I was restoring another and gave up when I bought the other one . If your interested, pm me. I have all brand new amd metal that I would sell you less than cost . I have 2 new door, 2 new fenders, 2 new full quarter panels, new Roadrunner hood, trunk rails and floors. New wheel wells both sides inner and outter. New rear crossmember and tail light buckets, I also have a new floor, front and rear that I installed in the car and front upper cowl but next weekend I am cutting those parts back out and getting anything else I need off the car. Then the car goes to the crusher. I also built a 383 all new sitting on an engine stand with no home. If there is anything you or any other members want dont hesitate to pm me. Good luck on your journey with your sweet Roadrunner.

I'll definitely have to look into that. Still trying to sell a couple of my dirt bikes to put more towards the runner.

Yeah haha. I hate leaving the car outside but the house I'm currently living in with my friend has no garage. But we will be moving to a nice big house with a big garage out in the boonies later sometime this year where the car will get a nice garage to stay in.

Thank you. I like taking to many pictures so it works out. Did some more cleaning up on the interior today but cut it short early to get some burritos with the gf

Well my rust bullet came in today. But the UPS guy really screwed me on time. Got home and checked my email and said it was delivered. So I looked all over my house and asked everyone if they grabbed it. Turns out they delivered it to my neighbor!. Idiots how hard is it to do your only job! :angryfire: So it was to moist/cold to do any work on the car by the time I found it. Busy for the rest of the week so it looks like I'll be getting the interior floors and roof painted on the upcoming 3 day weekend. Really looking forward to moving back to a place with a garage.

Yeah I was going to transplant all my posts over there after I got the rust bullet done on the interior ;p

 

[Stevo427]

Well got a little bit of time after work. Spent awhile going to clean bare metal on part of the roof of the car. Cleaned it up like crazy then painted it with some rust bullet. I'm going to go in sections then when I'm done rhino line it.

 

[Propwash]

How you liking that Rust Bullet Stevo? You painted silver for the next week and high as a kite? LOL. It's pretty good stuff and I use it as well. I'm sure you've noticed, it's tough as nails. Be sure to scuff it up well before you go applying the bed liner. Looking good man.
