`70 road runner - finally getting to the restoration!

Tamco is sending me another 4oz sample to try for FREE! I don`t have a lot of hope it will be any better but we`ll see.

I`m getting close to painting the underside so decided to do a spray out of my Tamco FC7 sample, I am not happy at all with the color match. Center strip is Tamco and outers are factory original.

Ya , it's kinda light. Or is the old paint contaminated? Have you tried a little buffing compound on the old paint?

It`s the underside of a trunk lid so very little exposure to the sun and elements but I did buff it up first.

Tell me about it. I turned 80 on February 19th and it sure limits your stamina and abilities. I had my left knee replaced and my right knee is sure sore so I pay for it at night. You know what? It is totally worth it as I sure miss racing my '68 Road Runner in the 70's and how gratifying it was to see Mustangs in my rear view mirror. I cannot believe the changes compared to now versus the 70's. I am almost finished putting larger wheel tubs in my '70 and I had to relocate the springs for my 48" Dana 60 I bought on Ebay. I sure hope that it fits as the backing plates are 40" wide. The absolute hardest part is having to do it ALL BY MYSELF. I have a 2017 CORVETTE Z06 redline edition which now sits in the drive way while my '70 Road Runner is in the garage. That pretty much says it all. I flat love MOPARS!
