Well I picked the worst time to start a resto but being stuck at home gives me plenty of excuse and time to work on the car. The down side is I'm retired and live off my 401k which is now a 201k and it's hard to get materials as I need them. I managed to take the K-frame to a powder coater...

here is another pic.

It's a 71 and it took a hit right where the impact pad is and caused top left edge to fold. I have some more pics but is hard to see problem. You can see the gap where the fender and filler panel meet, they should butt up tight.

I have waited 26 years to freshen my road runner and it will probably take half that to finish. Just pulled the front bumper, valence and grill and I can't believe how Chrysler put it together. I plan on doing the 26 inch radiator change for future AC all new suspension components and a disc...

When I bought the car the carpet was so faded it had a golden to brown tint look so I asked the expert Galan and he said it should be brown. Well i purchased a brown carpet from Hardins muscle car world and when I pulled the old carpet out is when I found that it was black. I installed the brown...

droptop, The carpet is fairly new and will stay black. While this car should probably have a brown carpet according Galin Govier. He researched the car in 1994 for free when he was getting started and stated a black carpet would be listed as 2 tone on the build sheet. I believe this car left...

Here is a couple pics in the car but not bolted down. I haven't mounted the brackets yet. The hinge covers came out great.

Painted the console today with the brown paint from Herbs parts and the color match is great. My only issue is that the paint instructions recommend a light mist spray with 2 or 3 coats. The spray can would spit out some drops and it showed. So I had to put it on heavier/ wet and it was ok...

Good call, on Herbs parts. They show a brown for 1971 so I ordered 2 cans and shipping cost as much as the product. It will be worth it if the color is close.

I am looking for a tan paint to make touch up repairs on my interior. Went to my local ppg paint store and tried a color match scan but it wasn't close. Any one have a good match or code for the interior paint.

You might get lucky and find a sheet. My 71 road runner is an early build from the Los Angeles plant and it had a sheet behind the rear seat and one under the pass side rear carpet.

Welcome from San Francisco area of California. I spent a year in Frankfurt Germany in 1972. Great country.

I have a little experience with paint and I will probably never paint another car and I surely can't afford to pay someone to do it right. I painted my 71 barracuda and cloned it to a cuda. Started in 1996 and finished in 2011. The car came out great and has been in a few mags and won a couple...

Long story short when I bought the car in 1994 from the original buyer she claimed the car had never been painted. However the pass side door and part of the quarter and the driver side fender had been painted some time before I bought it. I knew the paint was suspect but the body was good and...

and a couple more

OK a few pics.

The pic I posted above is from 1994. I have 15 inch rallyes on it now. The black wheels is what we did in the 60's ,if you couldn't afford chrome reverse wheels you pulled the hubcaps and painted the rim black. Ma mopar went with black wheels on the A-12 cars.

New to this forum and it's time to freshen up my 71 road runner. I am the second owner of a 71 383- 4 speed with air grabber road runner. Bought the car in 1994 and commuted to work with it for six years until I racked up 150,000 miles and sort of parked it. I love the interior brown/ tan but...
