What's happenin'? New to the forum, not to mopars.

Here's my '68 Road runner.
This car was a "field" car I found in South Dakota close to 5 years ago. I battled all the rust demons and finally wiped them out after about 2 years of work. The interior is all original and even had the window sticker in the glove box.

She's a numbers matching 383, ".030 o.s., 10:1, Crane dual pattern bumpstick, pocket ported stock heads, ASP roller rockers, Edelbrock performer RPM, Holley 4160 750cfm double pumper, Mallory unilite/Hyfire 6al ignition, Holley electric fuel system, TTI headers with 3" pipe run all the way back (put on after pics taken) Magnaflow stainless muffs, Centerforce dual friction clutch. The A-833 4-speed has been freshened up a bit with a rebuild along with a powdercoated case, the rear is the 8-3/4" with the optional A31 High-performance axle package, also rebuilt still using the factory 3.91's and sure grip. I have driven her on 3 cross country jaunts in the last 2 years with NO trouble.

Thanks everyone, here's a couple more pics.

The side view one is the day after it was painted, crappy pic though, you can't see the brilliance of the paint. My camera is also color blind. The car is actually In violet, not blue.

Have you heard of Austin? Mapleview is a little village within Austin. We have a lot of family up in and around the Twin Cities. My wife is from Stacy!

Dave!
 
Nice pics-I am sure you know its a 69 hood that doesnt seem to fit just right.Anoka huh?I used to drive truck for the Elk River greenhouse,a vegetable /produce farm on hiway 10.Ive heard that its solid suburbs from there all the way to St Cloud now.Hope you get to stay stateside for a while.
 
yea, that hood just isn't quite right. The car had no front clip on it when I got it. I put fiberglass front fenders and that hood came off a rear ended '69 GTX. My car had hood pins originally and the GTX hood had a latch so that was fun, had to cut some stuff and drill holes. I'm swapping it out soon for a fiberglass hood I got from www.autobodyspecialt.com.
She's getting repainted as soon as I finish the rest of the junk I need to do, the original color is silver.

I'll be state side for quite awhile soon. I can't wait. Can't stand "euro" crap anymore.

I used to live in Zimmerman for awhile when I was growing up, went to school in Elk River. Last time I was back it was all suburbs to Clearwater. I used to hang around Big Lake alot, the lake girls were just too good to leave there.
 
Its a small world but its getting bigger all the time.I wrecked my first road runner over by Rogers where the road has some railroad tracks going through an S curve,I went off the second part a little too fast and chopped a telephone pole in 2 with the back of the car and still managed to drive it home.I was woke up the next morning by the sherriff-he wasnt happy either.
