    This weekend saw a lot of productivity. The new clutch release fork is in and the clutch operates properly. Installed another center section in the rear end (this one actually has a ring gear in it!) and bolted in the driveshaft for the first time since 1996.

    Next up is the brakes. New wheel cylinders going all the way around, new master cylinder and all new brake lines.
    It's really no different than trying to glue them back on after she has her way.

                I can always use spares, Don.

                    love those wheels.

                        Growing up, I saw this car daily (beings it sat at the house next door). My family has always been what you could call a "mopar" family. I always liked this car, so much i went out and bought the red 70 Roadrunner that it use to hang out with. So many memories of this 69 RR, they rank right up there with memories of seeing my dads cudas sitting there in the driveway. I think it was the hood that always had me wanting a A12 car. My current project is getting me closer to obtaining that sweet fiberglass lift off hood, i always think back to images of this Roadrunner, it is memories i will always remember. Cant wait to see this thing back on the streets of Topeka Kansas!!!
                        Dodge, it will get you home, quickly!

                              Welcome Leo. The place usually runs a little smoother and I'm sure the guys will get the train back on the track very soon.

                                I have been getting quite a bit done on the ol' pile of rust... Waterpump, brackets, pulleys, alternator, spacers.... All new brake hydraulics...
