Bryce Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 AMT kit built from the box with a wheel change, lowered suspension and different carbies. Here’s some pics:
Peter Lombardo Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 That is a very nice "period" correct looking mopar. The Cragars are a very nice touch. Back then I had a '73 Camaro with Cragars and they looked perfect on American Muscle, so they look great on your Road Runner. I like the color choice too..."butterscotchy" yellow looks great.
Joe Nunes Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 You can almost hear that throaty rumble...nice project Bryce! Joe
Harry P. Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Looks cool... and you even remembered the purple horn!
BigGary Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Hate to be a nitpicker, but Holley carbs won't fit crossways on a street Hemi manifold. Gary
Bryce Posted October 28, 2009 Author Posted October 28, 2009 Hate to be a nitpicker, but Holley carbs won't fit crossways on a street Hemi manifold. Gary Lucky it's a model then...I'd hate to turn the key and find out it didn't run. Thanks to everyone else for the nice words.
RodneyBad Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Great looking RoadRunner. Paint and engine looks Fantastic. Nice looking Stance and wheels.. Great job.
george 53 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Bryce, VERY nice build Daddy-O! I'm really likein it! Meep-Meep!!!
VW Dave Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I really like it too, and the purple horn was indeed a nice addition.
Greg Cullinan Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 The right amount of glue and those carbs work just fine. Paint and everything look great. I like the old mopars but have yet to do or even buy a model yet. Seeing yours makes me know I have to get one soon.
Joe Nunes Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 That '68 Hemi Roadrunner was always THE car I was gonna get right after I got out of high school ( class of '68); what a hot car! ....Man, right after the kids got a bit bigger and I got a REAL job I was gonna get me a nice '68 Hemi Roadrunner. Well...when the kids got on their own I was gonna find me a '68 Hemi Roadrunner...you know, one to fix up for the road and shows. Geezzzzzz...I finally (after 41 years FOUND a '68 Hemi Roadrunner...and it was painted yellow (not the Metallic Blue like I wanted)...and the owner was only asking $23,000 for it this summer!! Say...maybe I'll just keep my eyes open and locate an AMT '68 Roadrunner kit and build it like the one I was gonna get right after I graduated from high school.. Thanks for the memories!!! Joe
Reeves Racing Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Those carbies look like they fit on there to me. I just wonder why the positive bat cable is going into the firewall and not down to the starter? Great job on all of the under hood detail. The upper rad hose looks real. Great color and application of the exterior paint. Super all the way around.

The neg. cable should always go to the left head on a Mopar too.
kyledr330 Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Love that year Roadrunner, great job on this one.
