BRAND NEW PICS> My Road Runner now has an engine again. Front suspension is in.
Well I finally get my car back tomorrow afternoon and I can't wait. The pics below were taken today at the paint shop as she is getting color sanded for the last time and then the final polish to the nine coats of clear layed over the Hot Lime paint and recently applied stripes. I'll be spending my 3 day weekend at my shop assembling. This is one weekend I won't mind working.
Enjoy.Jeff

Re: My Road Runner has earned her stripes. Final pics from paint shop
Way cool Jeff! Nine coats of clear -- that will look stunning with that Lime color. Road Runner emblem really pops against that paint. Super rod.

Lime green master cylinder, I could have sent you some masking tape cheap guy. Before everybody starts saying how nice it is, let me say after seeing a couple of red ones I think you made the right choice, just don't scratch it, or break a finger putting it together, pal.

My 7th grade math teacher had one in a dark green metallic paint with a Beep Beep UR Ass sticker on the rear window. As much as I'm a Ford guy I always loved MOPARS, Road Runners and '70 Challengers the most. Killa!

Come on Robert, you know I am not leaving the stock master cylinder in it. I'm putting on Wilwood 12.19" drilled and slotted brakes with a new Wilwood M/C. Thanks bud.
Thanks guys for the positive comments.

Thank you Robert. Diane is not thrilled with the color but I let her pick the suspension color so she is a little happier and she understands why I went with the green so its all good. Stay tuned for more pics as the assembly progresses.
