To start with, a quick shot of the freshly blasted engine bay. If you look closely in this picture, you can see the "dip" line that shows how far the cars were dipped coming down the line. http://www.roadrunnernest.com/Project/2003-11-09/2003-11-09%20006.jpg Ok, and here we go, the mud work is done....

This shows a good shot of the rebuilt edge of the trunk extension.



And all patched up and ready to go!

Here's some of the mud work to blend the new panel in, and fix a couple of dings. http://www.roadrunnernest.com/Project/2003-10-26/2003-10-26%20001.jpg http://www.roadrunnernest.com/Project/2003-10-26/2003-10-26%20005.jpg Some sanding and a lot of the red is gone, and the original Bahama Yellow show...

Some patch work on the new quarter before we hang it.

Here's a good shot of how much of the rocker we are replacing.

It's simply not cost effective to invest the money into making a product with such a limited audience. Plym...

Have you had the opportunity to check out the 71 Satelite Sebring Plus survivor that was making the rounds this year? It's an FE5 car as well, but with a white interior. Very striking color combo...

It's really wierd to see my car in yellow. I've always known it was under the red, but to see it in person makes me realize I'm totally making the right decision painting it blue! :lol: http://www.roadrunnernest.com/Project/2003-11-27/002.jpg The only remaining big section of red on the car, and tha...

I'm trying to track down which handle is "correct" for my September built LA car. I've seen both the chrome handle and the black handle, and I currently have a black handle setup for the car. I've seen some later built (i.e. Jan/Feb) original cars (or at least cars with what are claimed to be factor...

Were they cast into the side of the block on the passenger side? If so, it does sound like you have a 76 motor. On the ID pad next to the distributor hole should also have at least a year stamping on it if I remember correctly. That could also help confirm the date of the block. Still can be built j...
