New Member from New Jersey - '69 Roadrunner

Hi all,

While I joined the forum over a year ago I've recently jump started my renovation efforts and began searching the internet for ideas.

My car is a 69 Hardtop - 383, 4-sp. console car, black interior. As Plymouth intended, it is meant to go in a straight line very fast but little else - it has manual steering and manual brakes (and I think I am going to keep it that way . The car was originally F8 green but along the way someone painted it a dark green metallic

I have owned the car since...1989, and it was my very first car. I managed to keep it all these years (some indoors, but most outdoors unfortunately) and have been able to begin to tear down the car in preparation for some serious bodywork (typical B-body stuff - trunk floors, full quarters, etc.)

Attached is a pic from 1990 of the car, and another showing what it looked like up until yesterday when I took the engine out with some big time help from a friend.

Hope to stay on the boards here, buy / sell some parts, learn some great info, and make some friends along the way!
