Thanks for the words of encouragement. I have owned several restored Roadrunners in the past as well as others, I hate to say it but I likem kinda rough. :yesnod: This car has alot of rust including the trunk floor, tailpanel, rear frame rails, inner and outer wheel houses, quarters, dutchman panel, both front floors, rockers, front fenders, and front inner fenders. I have already bought a rust free 68 satelite that is stripped to the shell and parted out for a few hundred dollars. Hopefully in the near future I will attempt the largest rust repair yet. But for now I have to register, insure it, put tires on it, an alternator, and a few odds and ends to make it my daily driver. One of the nice things about living in Socal is that the weather is mild year round so I can drive the wheels off it anytime. I also plan to take it to the track and run it. But first I have to put a trans in it as it does its impression of the Exxon Valdez in my garage. I have a low gear 999 trans for it with a Jw ultra bell on it so I can run it behind a big bock and a 10 inch converter. This is the 5th 69 runner I have owned, all but one was green by the way :brickwall: and I felt I had to save this one since it was just stting out in the snow rotting, and of course the price was right. As far as my avatar, thats Vinnie my shop dog and he loves to go out and lay some rubber with me. I had to throw him in there because he is my biggest supporter. Oh yeah I almost forgot, the Goat Hill Tavern is less than a mile from my house and I have been there a few of times it has great atmosphere. What brought you to my neck of the woods?
