Rum Runner or Roached Runner

[6PKRTSE]

Decided to put together my 70' R.R. as a Rat Muscle project. Haven't decided if I am going to call it the Rum Runner or the Roached Runner yet. Engine and trans will be going in soon.

Tape it off. Sand it prime it then paint it. It will look more like the rum runner. Most of the body look's straight from the side I see. Well fix it up and drive it.

Nope, driving it as is. Already had stupid offers from some of the locals that want it once running, but I am not in it for the money.

Its all about the prestige

Just thought it would look better with maybe a single stage paint job. But that was my two cent's. Build it and drive it and have fun.

Engine looks way better than the car. Mild 383 with 484 purple shaft. 2800 converter, 4:88 gears with a spool, 175 shot of NOS, widen steelies with 275 drag radials. Should be a nice sleeper.

sleepers are cool!!

It’s charming, I love it. I’d like to see it scaring the good folks down at Woodward this year!
