    Under Frame Plastic Thingy Removal (69 Convertible)

    You can buy the rivets for these splash guards which you will need if you want to install. If you want to make them look new - I cleaned mine really well and then lightly scuffed with a very fine scotch brite. Then degreased, applied an adhesion promotor (Bulldog or etc) followed by SEM satin...

    Installing '70 RR air grabber assembly to the hood

    Thanks! Looks like they just had a solid rivet and smashed one end. That end also flared out inside one of the arm holes and secured it also. Just an inexpensive way to do it and they never were concerned with restoration. Pretty typical with many parts on these cars. If doesn't need to come...

    Installing '70 RR air grabber assembly to the hood

    I decided to separate the two sections of the arms. Now I can install the one on the lid with the pin and put the triangular decal on with out cutting. The other will be installed on the shaft and be installed with the completed housing on the hood. How to rejoin the arms at the pivot point? I...

    Installing '70 RR air grabber assembly to the hood

    Getting ready to assembly the entire air grabber assembly and then install the box on the hood. Question is what sequence do you do this in order to install decals on the side of the lid off the car. It would be difficult to install these triangular decals if the lid is on the hood. The clevis...

    Brake Drums

    I did the outside and then put tape on the inner friction surface. I worried about embedding grit into the friction surface and why I taped it.

    Little rubber stop under front turn signal housings

    Quite a mystery what that does and why they installed it. Maybe for some kind of an option or for an earlier year. They would not have gone to the trouble of punching a hole in the bumper and then adding the plug for nothing.

    Hood wedge bumpers

    Have you actually seen that they touch the hood when it is shut or just assume it does? I assumed and was wrong. I have the engine and subframe out and can clearly see the clearance from below when the hood is shut. Engine bay looks great BTW.

    Hood wedge bumpers

    Looking at the recent thread for turn signal bumpers made me think about the problem I had with my '70 RR hood wedge bumpers. There are (4) mounted on either side the fenders. Every one I have tried are way short of contacting the hood when it is closed. Like about 3/16" too short. If they don't...

    Little rubber stop under front turn signal housings

    This is on a '70. Are you talking about the bumper that is mounted on the housing itself? See picture.

    70 Roadrunner quarter panel badging?

    You could double check what you have with post #65. If they are close, go for it.

    70 Roadrunner quarter panel badging?

    I would think since you have the dust trail, you have to install the emblem on the same line as that.

    70 RR seat belt diagram

    Nice picture and thanks. I also have (2) metal tube spacers (1/2” tall) that slide on the bolts. Have any idea where they go? The guy who did my belts painted the bolts (3) different colors and I guess that was just to ID them because they are different lengths. My guess is from the factory...

    70 RR seat belt diagram

    Thanks for that. I will need to lay it out and will use this as a guide. I don't recall seeing anything in the service or parts manuals.

    Dating your tires...as in how old!

    Google - Tires: Your safety and your life are riding on them - NHTSA They have all the info you need. They recommend 6 to 10 years for replacing tires. Most tire shops will not touch tires that are 10 years or older.
