1971 Roadrunner

I'll probably be old and senile when it's time for reassembly but here goes nuttin.

Finally got a place and some time, what else could I want for? :huh:

just dinking around today, I really want to carve out a spot to store everything where it doesn't need to be disturbed.

This is wierd, did curious yellow start life a a green base or is it pressure that leaves it green? this is under the hood
hinge, but the parts car door hinges look the same
Never mind the camaro style engine compartment, I just touched up PO's in 1988

Ahhh, reading on, ahem, another site, part of the painting procedure including painting the bolt holes for the doors and such a green primer.

Whew! had to go shower from all the flying BS!

There should be some nice preserved junk under the factory undercoating when I get that deep. Will have to fire up the SLR as the digi cam makes up it's own colors depending on battery voltage, mood, weather, whatever.

I'll work on "the story" get the numbers etc. for all interested and some history laid out in some comprehendable fashion.

Yeah no doubt.
Cool to know what you looking at is what some poor schmucks job for the day was, and he prolly hated every minute of it.
You post the pics and I'll look at 'em.

couple more pics today,

More green primer from ST Louis and red oxide rust

left 1/4 I guess that is why the car is still here and not run into the ground.

looking forward to progress boot.......and if there isn't any for a long time I'll bug you about it to keep you motivated. Love those '71's.

Sunday's junk while watching KC on the little 5inch:doh:

There was the tinyest bubble of rust under the vinyl when I acquired conveyance mechanism in 1987. now it's rotten in several places, the top has to go. I do like the look and want to put vinyl back when it's done, Piggy and DG can bring thier grandkids and help :giggedy:

Nice weld on the tranny mount :xl:

Let's see what else... rusty cowl leading into a rusty rocker, then a rusty 1/4.

aww shucks, could've been a real nice scuff and shoot in 1990 something if I didn't crash it.

sweeto! No build sheet i got the car with almost gutted interior and a freaking mustang/pinto shifter. so the 74 charger interior is correct until proven otherwise
