Road Runner Nest

the way cars are returning the time and money spent on them GO TO SCHOOL - FORGET THE CAR FOR NOW, 4 more years of this economic plan and cars may be selling for much less. im just saying..... I hear you on that one, I'm watching a few cars on ebay and other places going for a lot less then they ha...

Up date on the 71 still waiting to buy it....If I can. I went back to school and I thought it wouldn't dip into my car fund money but I had to buy a few things to start the classes. I had to update my computer system. I have since found a 73 Roadrunner that I may go and look at. I did make an offer ...

As previously noted the repop quality is a little off if your going for a 100% OE correct type of resto from alot of the suppliers you previously mentioned...BUT if you are looking to get close and actually enjoy the vehicle they are really not bad sources to use. Another good vendor is Megaparts h...

Thanks for taking the time to reply and share your story and the link to your thread. I'm going to check out your car and read over it all. I do agree it will be a lot of time. I do not know if I can do it all right now if ever and I am looking at that. I have seen some nice cars going for $23K or $...

The rust is only a portion of the restoration. I have $15k in parts alone on my car and it was an "ok" rust free driver to start with. This does not include any drive train parts. This car will take many months/years, hundreds or hours in labor, and MANY thousands to finish. Buy an already done car...

It amazes me how many people are afraid of rust, its a mopar they all rust. This car is damn solid if you ask me, and a great candidtate for restoration. Sounds like she will be perfect for what you are wanting to do with her. I agree I'm not scared of it and with a replacement roof, floor pans and...

Yeah my Challenger had what I think are vega bucket seats in it when I bought it LOL. HAHA that would be interesting and makes you wonder why people did what they did. I think mine were Mack One seats. They had to redrill the holes. That brings up a question if all years 71-74 year B body cars. Wil...

Ok just learned something. My 70 had the wrong seats in it from a FORD and I had 73 Cuda seats to go into the car but no seat tracks.

Good info glad I tag this thread.

I'm going to tag this for later. I will put my answer in and say it will work and you will be able to use 71 Road Runner seat covers and foam for your Road Runner. I think all 71-74 B body cars used the same seat frames just like E body cars are the same but you can not use the same bucket seats fro...

I do talk to Mark Wormman and the guys of Graveyard Carz from time to time on Facebook. I did get them on the movie Phantasam. They didnt know there was a few different year Barracuda/Cuda used in the movie. The first movie didnt have a 71 it had a 70 and the hood call out on it was wrong. The movi...

Oh I wanted to ask who has the best wiring harneses for the 71-74 cars? I think and I need to double check the codes but this is an air condition car.

Thanks.

Yeah I do see that. Do you think its from that car or another one?

Thanks guys will do. I'm still working on the details on the car and tyring to get the rest of my funds together. I just spent a chunk of them for school. The owner is doing all the metal work and I asked about the mirrors today and he may have an extra set he will let me know. Also after I take the...

Oh forgot one thing can someone tell me whats wrong with the Road Runner not being OEM correct? Something looks off on the chin spoilers to me but I dont know. I do talk to Mark Wormman and the guys of Graveyard Carz from time to time on Facebook. I did get them on the movie Phantasam. They didnt kn...

Thanks, I will ask more this week about the marker lights and tail lights. I think they are all there and I know he has a few parts cars so maybe I can add those to my list of parts and things for him to fix. Does anyone know what Graveyard Carz meant by acid washing the tail lights? If I knew that ...
