I just turned 80 two weeks ago and am doing my 'I 70 Road Runner by myself. I just added the wider rear tubs and relocated the rear springs with the AMD kit. The car is up on 4 jackstands with 2 - 4" x 4" timbers on two tires abut where the tranny is just in case. I just finished welding...

I bought a partially restored '70 Road Runner on Ebay last October and am working on it every single day. I am retired It is a 440 4-speed and was a 383 car as it has an 8 3/4 rear end. I bought the Dana 60 that was shortened to 48" also on Ebay and am moving the rear spring mounts in to the...

I am still trying to buy a back piece for the GTX and/or Air Grabber hood. It has call outs plus turn signals but I just need the casting part. It would be nice to find a complete one though.

Hardtop. Will it fit? It looks right.

I am looking for the back panel for the air grabber hood in particular the piece that bolts to the hood. I also need the call out for a 440 and I also need the turn signals that go on it. I can get those at Classic Industries if I need to. I really need the piece that holds it all together...

We always called it a "Turkey Tray".

I forgot to add that 90-10 shocks on the front complete the package. I am restoring a '70 Road Runner and I am refining a lot that I learned from racing my 1968 roadrunner in the 70's. I only have a 2 car garage so I do not have a lift or other abilities.

If you put spring clamps (5 each I think) on the forward side of the spring leaves so each leaf is clamped, it will end it. On both sides. The adjustable pinion snubber (I made one in 1965) will also help. It should contact the floor pan at launch.

It is to offset the torque which will raise the right hand side from the actual torque of the engine. If you add spring clamps to the front (forward side) side of the leaves, on both sides you will create de-facto traction bars and if you raise the snubber to where it contacts the floor pan at...

Are you going to relocate your springs inside the frame and put wider tubs in? I just do not want to chop out the frame to put in the AMD parts so I am trying to find a way around it by welding reinforced 1/8" thick 5" x 5" angle brackets instead. Any ideas?

I retired in 2016 after we got Trump elected and did not take Social Security until I was 70. If you wait until you are 70 and then collect Social security it is not bad. I get a bit over $3,000.00 as does my wife. Waiting until 70 makes it all worthwhile. Medicare at 65 helps as I did not...
