Nice place you have here. A little about myself, I am from Massachusetts and have a 69 Roadrunner that I am restoring for the last four years. It is a true back yard restoration, I don't even have a garage...you can call and ask my wife. LOL It is Jamaica Blue (B7) with a nom 383 4 speed. I just finish painting it myself a few weeks ago and it turned out not too bad. Here's a link to pics just after painting: http://www.massmopar.com/Files/album/index.html



I also run a mopar website for mopar enthusiast in Massachusetts http://www.massmopar.com

Have a good one :beer:

Welcome! Yeah, I saw your pics of that on either Moparts or ScatPack. Where else did you post them?

Looks really good! If I ever attempt a "paint at home" paint job I hope it turns out that well!

Let's see more pics as she comes together! :beer:

Hey, welcome, great car, and dittos on that paintbooth idea.

I know what it's like to work outside. When I restored my 74 Runner, it was outside at my folk's house. Ever try rolling an engine hoist on dirt and leaves with a 440 swinging on the end? I almost busted my giblets, lol.

Keep up the good work man. By the way, whenever I need motivation on my current project, I like to watch the scene in "Better Off Dead" where the Camaro rolls out of the garage. I know it's not a Mopar, but I still get goosebumps every time!
