Those pop outs look real nice... look like they did back in the day when everything actually fit and operated smoothly. I actually had to grind a portion of my passenger side door glass down about a sixteenth of an inch. It was hitting the side of the stainless steel B-pillar trim. I was a bit...

I agree with 1968 man. You have to be on board with tweaking stuff, and ok potentially sending a bunch of glass back for replacement before you finally get something that looks good and comes as close as possible to fitting. All my glass originated from AMD (either purchased directly or through...

I'm convinced that the designers at Chrysler back in the day must have been on some really heavy-duty drugs when designing all the glass components. The only one that is basically straightforward (sort of) is the rear glass. All the others come with their share of just weird attributes. Both the...

Purchased my Road Runner from a guy in Kansas. All I needed was the properly filled out and signed and dated title and bill-of-sale. The seller downloaded the required documentation from the DMV and followed the instruction when filling out his portion. I then took the car and documentations to...

If you talk to twenty Mopar owners, you'll likely get twenty variations on how to best solve the problem of fuel vapor and fuel leak issues. All I know is that what I finally ended up doing works very well and also looks clean and neat... not a lot of tubing going all over the place... two vent...

I had a real problem with fuel purging out the vent tube (single vent tube) and after going through all kinds of setups, I finally went with a dual vent system and incorporated a vapor canister in the system. NOTE: I also have a Ricks aluminum tank with an in-tank pump, and the design of the...

Really cool photos... especially the one on the wood, that actually does look like an Ostrich!!!

Hear are a few photos of Road Runner air cleaners. The black and white photo is an original photo taken in late 1969 of a 440 Six Barrel air cleaner. Most came with the liftoff fiberglass hood; however, you could get a Special Order car with the air grabber setup and the air cleaner would be...

My 69 Road Runner started out with a 383 air grabber setup and the Coyote Duster air cleaner. Now a EZ FAST EFI sets where the carb used to be and air grabber setup has been replaced with a fiberglass (hinged) hood with center scoop... so much for staying with all original. The fender plate is...

Totally get it. When I first embarked on this project, I had intending to keep the 383, partly because it was the original engine, and I thought I could get away with not spending too much to get a decent engine, then I discovered there are limitations on what can be done to a 383, especially if...

After a lot of back and forth with a multitude of combinations... I finally ended up using 440 cast iron heads (with about everything that can be done to them) on a 400 block with a Comp stroker kit and the EZ FAST 2.0 system with Aeromotive fuel management system (from the tank to the EFI). The...

Thought about doing something fancy with the radiator hoses... have a set of the stainless steel tubing, typically found on most street rods, but was talked into staying with old school rubber hoses and funky clamps. Kinda glad I went that route. There is so much other stuff going on with the...

You don't need to pay to have your fender tag or broadcast sheet decoded. There are a bunch of free sites on the internet that all that is required is filling in the blank spaces and walla a full description of the car appears. I did that on my current Road Runner and got a lot of valuable...

I probably spent ten years doing random searches in attempts to (1) locate my original 69 Road Runner (purchased in November 1968 and sold in mid 71). Was not able to get any information and also could never get any reliable information on number of colors. My original Road Runner was Ivy Green...

Here's some shots of the interior process, from stripping the seat frames down, to designing the door panels, to laying out the first layer of foam, to finally installing the leather

Yeah I hear ya... I wanted to maintain the overall look of the underside, like the really cool torsion bars, but did a bunch of modifications to assist with handling. Changed the upper and lower front control arms to tubular and added a bunch of tubular/adjustable supports and anti-sway...

The bucket seats and the rear bench are original to the car. They were just stripped down to the frames, media blasted matt black then rebuilt using foam; cloth, wood and finally leather. They feel like something from a modern high-end car and the interior guy also added lumbar supports to the...

One time... had a friend that still races cars (much younger than me). We put a pair of slicks on the back and on 91 octane pump gas it turned 10.34. I think on E85 it would easily do 10.00 if not breaking into the high 9's. The primary reason for the good time is the Gear Vendor under/overdrive...

Back in my drag racing days (early 60's through mid 70's) I was pretty good at staging and moving ever so slow in my lane while a huge plume of smoke rose above the backside of the car... now those were burnouts!! I had several cars that I built and raced, including my first 69 Road Runner; a 50...

Love seeing the girls at work on these cars
