Finally, I can get back at my roadrunner now.

This was a major project. 1970 formula firebird. Rescued it out of a shop that went belly up during Covid. Got a barely rolling shell and many plastic boxes of parts. Hardware was just in the bottom of the containers. Nothing marked. This car did not match the factory assembly manual in many areas. It is an early car with 69 things in the engine compartment. A/C car too which made the dash and all the vacuum lines a near impossible task. In the morning goes to the body guy to repaint the endura nose and windshields as the paint cracked during assembly of that. I’m so done.

AZ Desert,
Looks pretty good Jack! I'm in the same frame of mind with my daughters Charger. Took it for a little shake down run last week and the axels weren't into the cone sure grip deep enough, buzzed some splines off and limped home. New carrier and axels tried again yesterday and it pops out of second gear when decelerating. The car keeps on giving.

I used to do a lot of side work for extra money, usually friends cars. I did a buddys Pontiac Lemans that he had me paint Mopar Sassy Grass Green.
