Project Clonerunner: Young Guns Build

Hello to everyone. The name is Rick and I'm currently finishing up a 74 Roadrunner for the Young Guns Comp. at Carlisle. The car has come a long way in the past several years.

Attached is a picture of the car as I received it Summer 2005. A 318 2bbl Satellite with A/C.

The original interior

The original 318 had a rod knock, and the tranny was slipping badly. Summer 2005 I built and installed with my father and uncle and fresh 318 4bbl with a mild cam. The 904 tranny was treated to a rebuild.

Since I can remember between my father and his friends the name 'Junior" was given to me, thanks to all my questions, haha.

I was given a RR hood from a family friend along with the slotted mags which I have always liked. For the next year the Clonerunner got me to my classes at college.

That fall the interior was bothering me, so I found a set of buckets with a matching back seat from a 73 Charger from a friend. Using SEM interior dye/paint I sprayed the dash, and the panels.

Nice, I'll be posting pictures of my new interior someday this summer. ..on Cardomain and I can link it here.

BTW, are you gonna take off the side trim? I took them off of my Sat Sebring and filled 'em in with JB Weld. . .

Summer 2006 I decided it was time for a paintjob. I just started sanding and laying on some primer with the help of my uncle Wayne.

Another layer was sprayed. At the time I though sanding it only twice was enough.
