I will most likely end up making a small order from RockAuto anyway, since I couln't find everything on Classic Industries, like a gasket set. Will do buddy thanks! I raised the front today to change the dacades old blown front tires so I can move around the car when needed. I can't remove the...

Yeah sure grips should say D91 up the where it says D53. It's on the part of my build sheet that's missing :(:( :'( I hope you can tell by the axle itself... It also seems there was something on the "A" "Combination groups" on the first box but I will never know...

Thank you! Yeah honestly I agree. But it feels horrible letting the car sit there rotting until I have the $$ required to get the engine rebuilt. I wanted to atleast get it running as safely as I can without a rebuild. I plan on rebuilding the carburator though, to make sure it gets a nice clean...

Hey Mike! Thanks a ton for the suggestions and those websites, I'm gonna check them out!

Hi guys, how are you? Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while. I'm getting ready for a small order of parts from the US to get the engine running. Firstly I noticed that the oil pan is right above the K-Member. Do you usually have to remove the engine to get the oil pan out? The things I'm...

Seems like we're on the same boat then. I'm looking to rent some closed space so I can start stripping. I'll try to get it running starting next month with partial disassembly of the motor making sure it's clean. And next year I'm waiting on some money, when it comes, I'll repair any damage on...

Thanks! I'm positive it's the only one. There are a couple of chargers here and there. But no Roadrunners, not even pre-71 satellites. Even sitting on the side of the road for the first couple of days it gathered a crowd! I was honestly expecting everyone to think it's just some old heap of...

Hey buddy, thanks! I remember when I was interested in getting the one you finally got as well! Congratulations to you too! The car came from Connecticut. Won it on an ebay auction after talking to the seller first if it was ok for an international buyer to bid. No fender tag unfortunately was...

I got below the car. Some good news. Motor is the original!! I'm not sure if the color is supposed to be blue or orange lol blue is peeling and orange is below. Couldn't see trans, the part where it says the vin is rusted. I need to sand it. Most likely 8.75 rear end I don't...

Hey guys. This here is my build sheet. Sucks so much it's partial and I'm missing important parts like the original axle. And There was wariting on the first box of the "A" packages but you can't make out what it was because you see one tiny piece of the corner. I Really really wish I find a...

Yeah, there is some surface rust there unfortunately. I'm currently gathering information on what works and what doesn't. Alo trying to see how original it is. Motor and transmission. I will definitely refresh the engine when I tear down the car but it would be really convenient right now to get...

Interesting. I thought all HP Roadrunner 383 were orange. Holley was the carb? My valve covers are Holley :p Yes I have the original vin, the body matches the broadcast sheet I have. RM21H9A300xxx Edit: Yeah my carb is Holley as well.

I wanted to make sure it turns by hand first and replace a couple of things like spark plugs, spark plug wires etc. Plus I need to see the casting numbers on the engine to know what and when it's from. They're on the worst possible place. I don't think it's original to the car. Between the...

Connecticut. I have a registration from 1979, the car was supposed to be sitting for 30 years but it doesn't seem to be the case. Even the windows and the locks work. Parking brake too. Revined unfortunately back in 79 but body numbers match the broadcast sheet. I really wish I find a second one...

Looks like my link to imgur didn't work. I will find a way to post more pics at a time when I get on a PC. In the meantime here are some more pics. Interior too.

Hey guys. I pulled the car today with my Dakota. Someone was sitting on the bird to steer and brake when needed (with the parking brake) Out strap snapped at one point even though it was rated for 6 tons. Good think it was on even ground. This is where I towed it from. Seemed to me like the...

I want to start by making it drivable. Really can't wait that long to drive it! But a full restoration will follow yeah. Floors are rotted, there are no front floors really, but the frame rails seemed in a surprisingly ok condition. Only that part below the trunk is a bit worse than the rest...

Thank you! I put the wheel back on today. Took a while to find lug studs and nuts locally but apparently, apart from length a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokees lug studs have the same specifications. Haha if it ain't broke don't fix it mentality from Chrysler. If the brakes still work a bit...

Yeah it has that strip of chrome on the pillar on the back. But I don't think I saw vinyl roof on the broadcast sheet and the roof appears to have too little rust, usually vynil tops roofs were way worse. Thank you very much! 383 5 speed I meant 4 speed manual, air grabber car!

Hey guys. It's Phil, from halfway across the globe in Greece! Finally after buying it March, the car is in my hands! Seriously after seeing it up close, nothing, absolutely nothing compares to that presence. An incredibly imposing car. (My old man is on the first pic, doing that fatherly...
