69 RR paint color guess?

[Stephen Hotz]

Hey guys I have a 69 Roadrunner that I hope to get moved to my place from where I bought it. Vin says RM21 but fender tag not present. I have a photo here of the windshield channel with the original paint. Trying to see what your guesses are. I dont figure the build sheet will be there as someone started a restoration a long time ago. Thank you for your help

Possibly the bronze color?

T3, T5, and T7 were the paint codes for the bronze colors. To dark to be T3 so it looks to be either T5 or T7.

 

[Stephen Hotz]

Bout what I figured. I'm leaning toward T7 as T5 seems to be a bit more towards the orange side. Will get a better idea once get it home.

I would guess T5

I would guess T5

Agree with Sponge Bob. Another vote for T5.

May have a better chance of looking under the trunk rain gutters for a better color match.

I looked through the posted photos of the different colors but it is going to be a toss up unless I can find the fender tag.

May be better on the floor pan. Can you give us some more pics of the car.? I have an RM21 also.

 

[Stephen Hotz]

Will have more in a couple weeks. I work offshore so I'm in Louisiana instead of Texas.

This car was pulled apart and sandblasted and part of her quarters removed. Then was left to sit hence the surface rust. There are a few holes in the floor and rear window channel but otherwise sub frames are solid, torsion crossmember is solid etc. Misc parts are bagged and tagged out of the weather. New quarter panels were included with the purchase.

That is sad to see one going to waste. Look's like you have your work cut out for you. Restored the one in my avatar from bottom up. Lot of work goes into these. Still a work in progress but getting close to being done. Wish you luck and keep us up on the build. Lot's of guy's here to help with info. If you look into some of the garages of guy's here you can see what is going on. After market metal is a challenge but make it work. Good luck on the project.

 

[Stephen Hotz]

Thank you. At the very least it isn't as much metal work as my 67 Fastback, but about the same amount as my 71 Swinger.

Sound's like you have been down this road before. So you know what your getting into. Will say mopar parts are a lot more expensive than Ford or Chevy. I have been told time and time again that. Will be watching and keep us in the loop on the build. Figure we can show other guy's what and how things get done.
