Hear ya loud and clear Plybeep68. Got my first 69 Road Runner back in 1969... it too was an Ivy Green post car. Drove it to work Monday through Friday and took it to the local dragstrip on the weekends. At the time, I was dealing with many of the issues a lot of us were going through...

Well... I knew I'd be opening up the floodgates with my comments. Just wanted to let everybody know that Biden is also a car guy and an avid hunter with a nice collection of hunting gear. Besides being a loyal Mopurist, I am also a 75 year old Vietnam Veteran (two back-to-back tours) and have...

Hate to pop your bubbles, but Biden is going to take Trump to the cleaners in November. Bernie needs to get out of the way or get on board. Trump just this week took a huge noise dive with his take on the latest healthcare crisis (just clueless)!!! By the way, Biden is a "car guy" and is also an...

My new front bumper arrived today (AMD through Summit) and, much to my surprise, it looks amazing... more like an expensive high-end re-chromed bumper. I just can't believe these bumpers came from AMD!!! I spent an hour inspecting every inch, front and backside... absolutely no issues...

I had the original bumpers re-chromed locally. The workmanship looks good from a distance (40 feet) with tons of pits and scratches throughout the chrome, plus when polishing it the polishing cloth left more scratches, so I opted to take a chance with AMD. The two (front and rear) bumpers...

My original Road Runner (purchased November 1968) was the base model post car. The only option on the car was the décor package which included pretty nice pleated seat interior; longitudinal side strips; magnum 500 wheels with redline tires; armrests in the back seat with ashtrays. It had 383...

Additional information on the mirrors - after installing the (factory-specific) new mirrors, I discovered the passenger side vent glass would hit the mirror frame when opening the vent. I leaned that because the passenger side mirror was originally always an option, they did not all fit the same...

The base for both are exactly the same; however, the passenger side outer rim (that surrounds the glass mirror) is shaped slightly different allowing for more tilt inward of the mirror; otherwise they look exactly the same. I highly recommend going with OER, with the best price at Summit...

OER has the correct mirrors for both driver and passenger side. They are a bit different from each other and tilt outward just a bit, so one size does not fit both sides if doing it correctly like stock. I got both mirrors through Summit. Passenger side for $129 and driver side (with remote) for...

You are welcome Russ69Runner. Attached is a photo of the glovebox lid and lower pad section after painting with the Herbs product. The entire interior looks the same

Here is the easiest method for restoring the interior metal, vinyl, plastic, etc parts so that they come out looking like they did when the car was brand new. First sand everything (the metal parts), then any decent primer applied that can be sanded smooth. Then apply light textured paint (from...

I did as much as I could... Where I cannot do certain things anymore, I have to rely on the experts to jump in. There was a time when I could do just about everything, including body repair and paint and engine build, but these days I have a lot of health issues that just get in the way of too...

Yeah I agree it's kinda nice to be in the minority. I'm sure there must have been at least 10 million early Mustangs built... and a week does not go by where I won't see at least two or three... and that's just in my local neighborhood. If you notice, when looking at the various websites where...

I do plan to provide photos, other than this frontend view, when it is done (and you know they are NEVER really done)!! It is; however, very close. Items remaining are dash components; insulation of trunk followed by black carpeting throughout trunk; finish sound system; polish and wax exterior...

The areas that required grinding were only small spots that were of no consequence and of no value for anything regarding supports. They were really only taken down less than 1/32 inch and did not protrude through any sheet metal. There are a lot of lumps and bumps on the underside of the floor...

Hammer is not necessary. There are two very small areas on the underside of the tunnel that require minor grinding... just enough to slide the components into place. The installation is very straightforward and everything should align up and fit just as described in the instructions... as long...

Very-very slight modifications, no cutting, drilling, or welding of any other pieces and no additional cross members. The driveshaft is shortened, but not that much to be concerned about... does not change anything on the rear gear alignment. I also added an adjustable rear-end rubber snubber...

I have a Gear Vendor in my 69 Road Runner. The transmission is a B&M 727 and the setup is fantastic. It is actually referred to as an Under/Overdrive system and is manufactured in El Cajon, California with all USA parts... where you can just use it as a standard overdrive with 1st; 2nd; drive...

The guy that painted the Road Runner is also from the Netherlands. Apparently that is where he learned his trade before coming to the US. For some unknown reason he has gone missing... off the grid as the saying goes. My Road Runner was in need of a whole lot of attention including stripping all...

Nice Road Runner. My favorite color (F8). I originally purchased a new Road Runner in 1969... an ivy green post car with a 383 and 4-speed. Sold it when the gas crisis hit California in 1971. After building several street rods along the way, I've always thought about the Road Runner. Sold my 33...
