Road Runner Nest

Here's some pics. Yeah yeah its only the black interior, but its stock and I'm glad I went with legendary. Best quality in the business. Got the front bucket covers, back seat covers, carpet, and headliner.

Nice!....now get busy installing them

I'm far from installing them. Were getting the garage built here in a few months and are going to be doing a ground up restoration. I'm even looking at the possibility of buying/making a rotisserie setup to make things 10 times easier. Right now I'm just gathering parts and keeping them in a dry, cool space (my closet).

Just got done taking off the exhaust manifolds and found out the heat flap in my exhaust manifold is working and moves freely including the tiny little spring on it.

I just looked at your first post ,

You should drive the pee out of that car .. The engine compartment is beautiful .

It would be an easy 1 year project to paint the exterior and leave the underneath alone ..

If you really want to abuse yourself .. and wait two years to drive the car, and spend LOADS of money , AND
scrape the underside for a week , keep us posted on progress pics , like I have for three years .

It's gonna take a little more time than a year with me being in college and what not. Were in the process of building a 1500 sq. ft. garage. Once that's done, me and my old man agreed on a complete "nut and bolt" rotisserie restoration. Hell yeah I'm gonna drive the piss out of it.

I really like the options of the car and it does have some luxury to it. Only problem I have is that for some reason, the original owner ordered the 4 speed but did not put in an rpm gauge. Instead there's a clock in its place. So I'm debating on whether to keep the clock as a wierd piece or go for the rpm gauge for functional purposes even though the car didn't have it. I've been working on getting the original exhaust out and it looks like I'll be able to re-use it with no problems at all.

Future plan is I want to drive cross country with this car and go from where I'm at down here in south texas to maine.

The car is going to go to get media blasted. The yellow you see on the body is clearly not the original curious yellow as someone spray painted the car. One thing I'm still scratching my head about is the two bullet holes in my passenger rear floor board along with a prehistoric "Los Angeles Sheriff's Department" pamphlet that was in the center console.
