Fast & Furious 4 Plymouth Roadrunner | From Stunt Double to This

We finally got to shoot my friend Jamie's 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner after almost 2 years of waiting!! This car was originally a stunt double for Steve Strope's "Hammer" used in Fast and Furious 3 "Tokyo Drift" and again in Fast 4. This car was on deck to be the car Lettie rolled and thankfully it never had to get rolled. Jamie brought this car back from being a stunt double to one of the best restomods I've ever seen.
Sit back and enjoy this badass...

That's a bad mamma jammer. I love how this big Brit is pure American hot rodder. The vintage drag inspired power plant is really amazing. I love the color, wheels, tires, stance.

[@JoseCruz-dk3fi]

Talk about an amazingly well done car. As long as you're happy with it, it doesn't matter what others say. Although it's hard to believe anyone would hate on this car. I love all american muscle but mopar was truly the king back in the day.

[@revnto7k]

Gorgeous. One of my favorite Mopar body styles ever. Looks incredible!!

[@AutotopiaLA]

I love this one too 👊

[@Buzbikebklyn1]

Wow, this one brings back memories. I had a 1972 Dodge Charger, with EVERY single part built or rebuilt. It was an "all iron" build. I used a 440 "hour glass" water passages block out of a 1970 mobile home, bored out to a 472". The factory "904" cylinder heads that were decked and ported and polished. Nascar valves and rocker system and a new at that time a hydraulic roller cam. I also used a cross ram intake, with dual 780 cfm Holly's on it. 700 HP was a big deal back then.... Now? not so much...lol Torque was the name of the game with my car as well. At that time it still used torque bars in the front suspension. Factory disc brakes from a truck mounted all around. Dana 60 rear axle and Nascar shocks. There was no such thing as big inch wheels back then, so I used 16" centerline wheels 50 rears , 40s in the front with "BFGs" tires. A 8 point roll cage, anti fire system, Autometer gauges... Mine did have a radio/cassette with 6 speakers. No "beep beep" horn, I used two air truck horns and two standard MOPAR horns that made people jump in front of the car. She was painted "HEMI" orange after two weeks of sanding. I have to tell that guy that he did good. The way of the muscle car will never die. T.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Sounds like a serious build you had my friend 👊
