    So, I guess this means you have come out of the closet ?:bananaman

    Please forgive me .

    I am an AMC fan, myself. No way I could afford to have one of those though. And talk about "hard to get" parts.

    if the rear window trim is off your car can you post some pictures of the corners so i can see the "contour" around where the trim sets

    Russ, nice new project. I always liked that body style Road Runners. I grew up riding around in a friends 68 road runner, 440, 4 speed. Purple with white bucket seat interior, spent many a weekend nights laying under that car changing gears to take it to the strip. It was a blast to ride in and drive! Good luck with it. Possible retro mod? (y)

    Russ,

    Let me know if need to some certain parts you can not find. I am still in contact with my friend who had the road runner and I am sure he has a lot of sources for parts. He is a die hard Mopar fan, he just finished a 68 Barracuda restore for himself. I could hook you up with him and see if he can help you out.

    Heck, there is a running '73 Gremlin, for $1,000.oo, in the Carolina Bargain Trader Magazine, that I contimplated going to look at. I like those too.
