Newbie from Los Angeles

Hi, Everybody,

Moparstuart referred me to this site, glad to be a part of it. Attaching pics of my '69 Road Runner. First pic is the beginning, I didn't paint it that nasty-ass color, stock is buttercup yellow. Second pic is after media blasting. Next two are the current state. The shop I used to have it at really screwed her up, my new shop is great and redid all the rear end metalwork. Waiting to tub her before we paint.

She's gonna be pretty modified. Disc brakes, beefed up suspension, EFI, etc, I want her to handle great, not just go straight. Currently looking for a solid, reputable engine builder in the LA area to build a 440. Aiming for 550HP and 550 ft-lbs torque. Don't want supercharger/turbo/blower, just raw power. Know anybody?

thanks, everybody and glad to be a member.

Welcome. Looks like a great build. Since it was Butterscotch will it be going back to same or will you be going blue (from your name)?

Thanks guys!

I am still "Round and Around"
This winter has really took it toll on me. To much time on the couch or in bed. They changed a Medicine in my pump and it seems to help. They are still adjusting the dose. Glad to see people are joining the site and still playing with their toys here!
