Hello! I’m Caton...

[Cjarrett]

Good afternoon everyone! My names Caton and I am joining the site to begin the early stages of research into restoring a roadrunner. I do not have a project yet, simply setting myself up now for when the time comes. I’ve tinkered on cars since 1998 and my first minor restoration was a 1985 mustang I purchased off a police auction for $300 lol. My grandfather was a motor head and I recently missed out on the purchase of his numbers matching 69 426 sold at RK Motorsports Charlotte..... to an owner in Italy...oh Well

My current garage queen is a 2018 F/8 green challenger T/A. I’m fortunate now to be in a position to start this journey so here I am and I look forward to interacting with all you! Thank you!

-Caton

Welcome. If you have done a resto then you know what your in for. These Bird's are popping up every day now. So which runner are you looking for assume a 426 car. Well let us know what your looking for. E bay has been having quite a few for sale. Glad you are looking to bring another bird back to life. Russ.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I’d honestly be completely content with building a solid 440 six pack. Don’t want the hassle of 3 carbs with the A12. I don’t have a friendly body/paint shop so I’ll be looking to find a project that is solid in body and frame.

I see my error, hence my early research and joining of this forum.... I hope your future feedback and recommendations are better than your emojis

1) Welcome.

2) The old-timers on this site tend to do a fair amount of ball-busting (good natured - but we all have more than a dozen years of history together) so don't let a snappy comment intended to heighten your Road Runner awareness ruin your day. As the founder of this site notes in his avatar signature: "Sit back, relax, and don't bitch about the cigar smoke".

All good here no hurt feelings, hopefully some young blood can help bust the rust off some of the gray hairs ;)

Poking fun is one thing. Making a joke is another. But being a Smart A$$ is another. Hope you stay with us their are a lot of good people here. Have to over look Stupidity.

 

[Cjarrett]

All good here, thanks for the warm welcome. I have a lot of research to begin and I look forward for picking all of your brains in the future!

Yes knowledge is a good thing and these guy's have plenty of it along with experience working on these car's. Nothing like hand's on knowledge. Being a mechanic minded person have skinned plenty of knuckles and shed blood and tear's working on vehicle's. But someone knowing the rite things and where they go is a big help. What year runner are you looking to get.

And once again my poor hat is being slandered. Oh no it’s poor feelings will be hurt
