Road Runner Nest

Last June I took my car into the body shop to be painted. It was delivered back to me in November in the dark. I took pictures under flourescent lighting that made the paint color look too dark. You might remember me being concerned about the color.

Well yesterday I took it out into the sun for the first time since June. It looks awesome, and it is definitely B5 just like I asked it to be. I just need to touch up the grill and various odds and ends and I will be able to drive it about once a month with these gas prices.

The pictures still look a little dark compared to the actual car color. I wonder if I have messed up my camera while playing with it.

Tell me what you think of my baby.

While I am thinking of it (I don't want to open a can of worms here). Where do I put my circle RR on the trunk deck lid? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It would look very weird just off the corner with my stripe package.

Thanks,

Dennis

Nice car, good color (another bluebird. . .)

I like the stripe package . .it's different than the strobes but goes well with the full vinyl top. . .

I'd put the standing bird within a circle on the corner of your stripe. ..




With a nod and a to Graphics Express!

pretty sweeet...gotta love blue n black...or white lol

I love the stance of your car. Please tell the wheel and tire sizes.

Very nice !!!

Alright! another full vinyl top

I agree with you about the roadrunner on the trunklid if its a roadrunner.

wow Dennis....the car looks great!

I'LL second that!

r u using a 72 RR grille? if so, will you do it silver or black? black would be SWEET, but not original lol

That is an AWESOME car Dennis!

Thanks a lot guys, the car is a dream come true for me.

The pictures and information are appreciated.

Tire size
Rear-P275/60R15
Front P235/60R15

Landon, you my friend are a genious. I never even thought about painting my 72 RR grill black. I think painting the honeycomb backing black might really set off a silver grill. I will have to imagine what that would look like for a while. It could be cool.

I've seen 72 runners with the 72 only grill painted black....looks like a huge void inside the bumper....I'd go with the original color if it were mine.

1972RM23 posted a picture of where to place the decals on the RR. This might be a dumb question but here it goes. How do you decifer where the decals go? I mean, the numbers in the oval circle in relation to for instance the decklid. How far up, down right, left to put the RR decal on the decklid
Its the same when you look at all of the placement for the decals.

That decal placement is different than the roadrunner one,I think the roadrunner one goes 1 inch from bottom of deck lid and 1 inch to the left of the deck lid. This one just goes on the black stripe.I have always said that chysler used the paper that the decal was on to align it with edges.

Well I read blueprints about every day and these make little sense to me without knowing what "P.5.4941" is... everytime I have seen notations like that they refer you to another print/prints or something that defines how things are placed.

Between the print 1972RM23 posted and this one it looks like they used the carrier paper to line them up... I know that doesnt help..
