Road Runner Nest

So now that the car is on her side, its time to start from the top....er...I mean the drivers side. I started by digging into the body work that was done on the rocker sill where it meets the rear quarter. This is what one of the previous owners did when they put another lower panel on.

I too have been down that road - just take your time....

That rotisserie was manufactured at a company called MPS international. They were around in the late 80's early 90's. I've attached pictures showing a feature story on it in an old issue of Mustang monthly.

The final step is to secure the steady brackets - here's the front one.and here's the rear one.Then I removed the draw bar attachment and placed it under the car. Now the underside work can commence!

So making sure all connections are tight, I now start to lift. Sept 30 (4).jpg Sept 30 (5).jpg Next is to pull the rims from the drivers side to keep the weight off the lifted side. Sept 30 (8).jpg Then just keep lifting (you can now start to see the draw bar attachment) Sept 30 (8).jpg I had to mak...

Happy Columbus day to our US friends - us Canadians are enjoying our Thanksgiving this weekend. So I finally was able to set-up the rotisserie and mount it to the car. First, to make sure there is enough room away from the wall. Sept 15 (1).jpg So, this specific rotisserie mounts to the wheel hubs. ...

So I finally got some primer on the whole back panel. August 26 (9).jpg I made sure I got primer on the underside too. August 26 (2).jpg And I finished up the top panel. August 26 (13).jpg Some more pics. August 26 (3).jpg August 26 (6).jpg So the next thing to do is get her on her side to clean up ...

Here's some of the top where the trunk latch goes. Here's some more of the cleaned up area's. Even more pics. Now it's time for some primer......

Soooo - moving on. Did some prepping and put down some primer on the new trunk pan. June 23 (6).jpg June 23 (7).jpg June 23 (8).jpg So now it's time to tackle the rear panel. Here's the drivers side not touched while the center area where the gas tank neck sticks thru was cleaned up. July 16 (5).jpg...

Wow, another GY8 car - awesome!

More pics. this one is my favourite! I do love the Tor -red on it - it really pops!

Just got back from the Moparfest show here in southern Ontario, Canada. The weather was great, the cars were great and alot of people. I walked around and took some pics of road runners.

Man, I'm strugglin away on my first runner and you are well into your second one - Kudo's to you!

Frame connectors were already there when I bought the car.

Many Thanks for the info 71bird.
I do have frame connectors on the car, so I hope that would make it more sturdier.
In addition I do have rear torque boxes in place too.
The trunk pan is welded in now, but this will be a live and learn lesson for me.
Lots of good things to learn here at the nest!
