My '71 Road Runner Project (Phase1) are completed...

[gionni]

hi all...

in feb.07 i have introduced me and my '71 road runner project.
here is the link of the thread: http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=8295

now is the first phase of project completed, and i show you many pictures that i made in this 6 months! ;)

(i'm italian and i live in switzerland, so please sorry for my bad english! :rolleyes:)

hier is the base-car....a 1971 Road Runner 340 H.P 4BBL with 727 torqueflite-automatic, bench, column-shift, ps, pdb, and factory A/C...but is not more in!
the car was a rustfree car from washington and is 1 of only 1'243 built...

(uhhh, only 5 pic's per posting...:rolleyes: ...give a lot of postings! :D )

[gionni]

first the engine and front...

[ProTouring442]

Very Nice! I bet that is a very big car on Switzerland roads! Do you see a lot of American cars over there?

What are the next plans for the car?

I really need to get back to work on mine. This weekend I got my new (new to me) motorcycle ready for the road, and cleaned the garage a bit more. Discovered termites in the garage, and it's attached to the house. Well, there goes $1200 of car funds!

Next comes a shed, then I can work on the car again!

Where do you work on yours?

Those were bubble gum cards when I was young and I collected a bunch of them. I might actually have them at my parents house in the closet.
