    1969 Roadrunner Full Restoration

    Spraying epoxy primer is not difficult but you will need some basic equipment - compressor putting out enough cfm for your gun, HVLP require more than the old siphon feed guns, HVLP have less overspray so use less material but siphon feeds work just fine and I still use my old ones sometimes...

    Original Ammeters

    VRD - "I have seen cars have this happen to them because they don't want to do basic maintenance and inspections" As mentioned most electrical issues are caused by overloading, old brittle wiring or dirty, corroded connections NOT due to any bad engineering or design of the system and you even...

    `70 road runner - finally getting to the restoration!

    Not much progress lately as I've been busy with wife, kids, house etc. but even when I have had some free time lack of motivation has kicked in. I think it is a combination of a long, cold, snowy winter and being in the seemingly never ending bodywork stage that has me a bit beat up both...

    Nice, I love the `71-72s, that is a good combo with the FC7 and 340.

    1969 Roadrunner Full Restoration

    Just jack it up a smidge under the rear frame rails as close as you can get to where the rear axle would be so there is weight on there. I had mine on the rotisserie but unbolted the rear and set it on jack stands when I did the trunk floor and quarters.

    `70 road runner - finally getting to the restoration!

    Before I do the filler work on the fenders I need to hang the doors back on so I can check the lines and fine tune so I sprayed some In-Violet on the hinges and jambs.

    If you are going to do any reinforcing do it BEFORE you mount it on the rotisserie, I`d put it on jack stands as close o where the wheels would be as possible to simulate where the weight will be when it`s back on the ground.

    1969 Roadrunner Full Restoration

    Nice work. I mounted my road runner on the rotisserie without any bracing but except for trunk floor it had a very solid unibody structure and it is a post car so I felt it wasn`t needed. I did place jack stands under the car when I did the trunk floor, quarters and passenger floor to support...

    Aftermarket A/C for '72 Bird?

    There are posts on FBBO about it. I would think an E-body kit might work with some mods as the firewall is basically the same as the `71-74 B-body but not 100% sure. https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/anyone-using-vintage-air-in-their-71.204165/

    I don`t have any hard deadline for being done but I ain`t getting any younger and want to enjoy it soon, at least I do have my Barracuda to drive. I do want it at least painted by this fall which should be a very realisitc goal.
