    RESTO RESCUE ROAD RUNNER: FAILED! For Now.

    I like the color. From the screen color, wish mine looked more that shade. What's odd is this family of colors shows so different in different lightings. MM1 Turbine Bronze is like that to. Dead until the sun hits it. Then it pops.

    Roadrunner Horn

    Looks accurate as to true colors. On my screen anyway.

    Roadrunner Horn

    Five year old thread, but the most current thread on the subject. For reference only then. I've got good color vision. Pictures are never accurate. Two Spartan horns. Two very different colors. Testers 1154 is close one but the original is different. (At least in bottle form. It can be found...

    383 just shut down while driving.

    It's either spark or fuel, right? All my ideas will cost you money. But will give peace of mind and could save in the long run. Years ago I was stranded when a well known capacitive discharge system failed on me. Tow home. I won't name it because people will say "I've never had trouble blah blah...

    carburetor

    There is a lot of buzz about the AVS2 , I bought one and am happy with it. First time I've ever had a choke that actually seems to work too. (Electric) I'm resisting the urge to by another one for another car.

    Hello Everyone. My Dad Was The Original Owner Of This 1968 Beauty

    Money is replaceable. Memories and people are not. These cars are repositories of memories. I was fortunate to marry a friend who understands sentiment. Sure, she is very frugal as well and says things about money, but she understands. It's all about balance.

    Last Of The REAL Road Runners.

    When my wife and I were young and poor we got a cream puff 75 Charger from my sister. With a 360. We sold it sometime in the 90s to a younger, poorer couple. I really wish I had that car back in good condition. NICE cars. Junior came home from the hospital in the Charger. That's the bag on...

    2025 Roadrunner

    It's a dressed up second gen Barracuda front with mediocre Dodge rear. I continue to hope that the Road Runner badge is safe from being stuck on some modern abomination by marketing morons. Sales weasels and Mad Men. It should be rightfully retired like they do outstanding sports ball player's...

    Out to dinner last night

    Out to dinner last night

    Hell Michigan , huh. Why not just call it Gehenna? "Down to Gehenna or up to The Throne, he travels fastest that travels alone." Extra credit to anyone that knows what fairly recent movie used the Kipling quote. No cheating. Ya have to have watched the movie and not a web search.

    Bird’s got out of the cage today.

    Someone likes blue. Nice "birds". A few years ago. I was sitting at my vet waiting on my little dog having her teeth cleaned. This younger woman was having trouble with a big active hound puppy. Every few seconds the dog would bay and she was trying to pay. So I offered to hold the dog outside...

    Out to dinner last night

    I'll race any new car with my 318. But first we drain the crankcases.

    Minor Electrical Blues

    I made these up with with a cut and paste from the 1969 factory prints. This is the way I do it for future trouble shooting. I find having something that looks like the original prints on them is helpful for reference. I did find some errors on the wires at the turn signal flasher IIRC...

    Exhaust tip hanger on 68-70 RR

    I feel more like Al. Except they probably will throw The Dodge in on top of me. I'm putting a TTI system on the RR and trying to figure out how far the tips are supposed to stick out. It's different from the factory. The bracket is on the pipe and I've got to cut the pipe back to install the...

    '68 Road Runner in Tiger Warsaw

    Seriously? A Nova. Should have traded it for an A body at least. Duster or Dart Sport or Demon.

    No lights-No start-Good battery!

    This seems a classic example where a test light beats a test meter. Puts a load on the wires, connection or battery power supply Looking at the OP it now jumps out that the OP was referring to digital indications as well that did come on.

    68 Road Runner value

    I see rust that probably needs repairing at the lower rear wheel well. I see rust at the hood lip. It may be razor thin there. Rust behind the rocker trim? Who knows how bad. Like Russ says it COULD need a new cowl top at least (window channel) Won't know about the cowl bottom without a...

    Rear window lower stainless steel moulding

    I have some limited knowledge. My guess is that unless it is exactly the same kind of stainless it might be a different color. I also think TIG is the only option for it. And the person doing the welding should be very good. Warpage might also be a minor issue. However, on a positive note, it's...

    FOR SALE A12 clone for sale

    The buzz kill is the ad. I just looked at the pretty pictures. Dealers. SMH. Like one of those insipid real estate ads for a property. Blah, blah, blah. My eyes crossed and I didn't bother reading it for the detail.
