Ron Hamilton Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 James Testor sent me a photo of a car, which was my inspiration. When I decided th build this one, I combined mine with the '71 Charger R/T Kit. I drilled out the molded in headlamps and added clear lenses. I detailed the kit wheels, and added a set of 60 series Polyglas GTs Here's the Charger interior tub, combinedwith the seats from the Road Runner Here it is all mocked up, ready for paint I painted it B-5 Blue, with a Bright Blue interior, Keith Marks' White Stripes, detail Master Hood Pins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Rothgeb Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Wow! All these Roadrunners look great. The timing of this thread is perfect because I just placed an order for some MCW Superblue paint and had one of these birds in mind when I did. Ron, I had a question for you: Did you use the most recently issued 74 Roadrunner? And what do you recommend for an engine, the one that comes with the kit? I plan to follow your swap with my build but I did not know what do about the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I had it planned out since the kit was issued. The engine is the 440-4bbl out of the '71 Charger Kit. The Charger sacrificed its underhood area, chassis, and interior for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have the formula for this car down now: Current Issue 74 Roadrunner Body, grill, taillight panel, and seats + 71 Charger engine compartment, Chassis, and interior tub, mix together with a clean factory stock building style and enjoy.

mrglubaum Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Nice Road Runner! I like the idea of the Charger as a donor! The reason I stopped working on mine was I didn't like the undercarriage and engine that much. This will solve the problem! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
