Man I love this build , I had a 69 roadrunner in high-school in 1978, sold in 81 after I left home to be soldier in the Army. Regret it still and I'm 60 now. Nice job fellas 👏 👌

[@Darknamja]

I bought a 1970 Roadrunner in 1973 but sold it when I was assigned to the ROK in 1976. It was all original and I wish I had it today.

[@butchhaight]

I sold my GTS when I got drafted in ‘70. Bought a ‘73 roadrunner after basic and AIT.

[@hellonwheelz3317]

I bought a 68 Roadrunner with a 383 Magnum in 77 for $300, wrecked the front clip and sold it for $450, and thought I was being shrewd. What a dumbass. That thing would be worth a fortune now. It was just sheet metal damage. Still ran fine. Hindsight is 20/20.

[@d.scottjohnstone6813]

I graduated in '79. I was lucky enough to get ahold and still within reach dollar wise a '71 Superbee (its last production year). I got it my junior year in high school from a newly married guy living on the East side of Detroit whose new wife said to him "Its me or the car honey!" It was mustard yellow and flat black packed with the Mopar 440 big block. Me and my buddies rebuilt the 440 and had the time of our lives zipping up and down Woodward Ave.......Well, to make a long story short, I let my sister go pick up her girlfriends from school one day my senior year and she wiped it out on a set of parking poles with all of her friends packed inside of it. They were all ok, the car was completely totaled. Need I say more.....lesson learned.I just turned 63 today and not a week goes by that I don't think about the great times we all had in that ride.....

Did Tom look really uncomfortable throughout that segment?

@@airtioteclint I thought maybe it was just me. Perhaps he is sick or something? He was standing a good distance away from them. Usually he's standing pretty close to the dyno controls and excited. Flu and covid and all kinds of bugs are still floating around.

Okay I promise last comment. I'm a photographer and cinematographer as a hobby and I love the camera angles y'all have used in this video.

Love these builds. The motor guys really get excited with their engine builds. Fun to watch and educational. Lots of action.

[@robertmceuen3630]

Roadrunners were popular when I was in high school. I drove a 63 Impala for awhile, then got a 67 Olds 442. Great build guys. Thanks.

[@silvajay6443]

not going to lie I really appreciate the full build videos. and not charging us for them even though they are basically commercials in the first place

[@Illinois_Steve]

That was excellent. I bought a '69 RR when I was a young man in the Navy. Life brings all types of fortunes, including misfortunes and I was forced to sell it. I miss that car and this episode let me relive some things vicariously. Thanks.

[@tommyau2006]

Tommy and Joel................what a great team. Awesome build

[@QuadDoc]

We Love the interactions that Thomas has with Ted Stephen, the owner of the parts cars! We’re planning a trip to Stephens Performance just because of it. ❤😂🥰

[@aproudamerican2692]

The grease is a good air restrictor for that application. The object is to keep as much air inside the tire when mounting it. Water is used to seat the bead of the tire and grease is used to prevent air from escaping to build up enouggt air force and volume of air to expand the tire. I was the Manager of a very large tire installation company for many years. Keep up the good work. If those old tires hold air and roll. It's a great tire. Bald tires are only really bad when put on the streets. Itself a safty thing.

[@The_Brett_Dove]

I saw one of these at cars and coffee. It was a rat rod build. And it had American Racing Salt Flat wheels, a T56 6 Speed and a Twin Turbo 440 with a custom intake to have 3 4 Barrell Holley 750s. And a Hell Cat Rear End with a 3 way LSD. And the biggest brakes I've ever seen.

[@butchhaight]

What a great video! I will have to admit I was a bit envious watching the transformation. I grew up a mopar man. My dad and grandpa owned a service station. Dad was hardcore mopar. I owned a ‘69 GTX. I loved that car. Unfortunately my ex new that and that’s all she wanted when we got divorced. I have owned 6 mopar s cars and trucks. And always will. To be honest I would love to find a ‘68 Dodge GTS (high school car. Cost me a whole $2480 new) with a worked over 273. I’d take a 340 if I had to!!!!!But @ 70, I have neither the time, energy or $ anymore. So living vicariously through this video was great..:thanks!

2:04:36. I cant believe they gave me a free shout out. How thoughtful.

[@BWGPEI]

Mother's old '69 Charger RT had what we called two men and a boy brakes. Dog runs out in front of you and you end up with both hand hauling back on the steering wheel to get more pressure on that brake pedal. (Did happen while I was as a teenager driving and I did barely miss the dog.) I do heartily approve of better running gear and brakes.

[@leavemealone2154]

American 60’s muscle is like… the best looking cars around. Nothing tops the looks and feel of a big, heavy engine inside of an absolutely stunning body.

[@johnpartridge7623]

The Road Runner is the Classic American muscle car which is so much better than the crap we had, in the Land of Rust & Corruption of the UK, great show 👍

[@geraldtuck8864]

CONGRATULATIONS YOU GUYS HAVE DONE ONE HELL OF A JOB. COMMENTARY AND DETAILS WAS GREAT. REALLY ENJOYED A 3HR VIDEO.

that is how i was tought to bend a cotter pin, turns out the old man knew a thing or two and passed it on, great work guys love the videos keep on truckin!!

[@mufassa1348]

Coming from the military aviation world very close should also bend the lower one down. but not touching\beyond the nut. same as the top should not extend past the bolt but right to the edge. should also go in the direction of travel or gravity (so if you had the choice, the head should have been on top. or to the front of the car.

[@dancampbell4400]

Always been a gm man but my father in law was a mopar guy who had a 69 roadrunner convertible b7 blue with 383 and torqueflite. Almost didn’t give me his blessing for his daughter’s hand in marriage, deal breaker was we had to have the roadrunner in the wedding photo. This build brought back memories of a great man, well done guys!

[@davidsias5351]

So you took the time to airbrush rust on it but you decided not to give it a good paint job and you went with carburation instead of fuel injection what are you guys doing to that poor thing

I bought a1969 road runner as a bank repo for 175.00 drove it for several years and sold it. The guy was working at a tunnel job in the high country . Well he jacked the rear end up so high you couldn't align it, or keep it on the road in winter ! They ran it off the road and smashed the front clip . I sold it to him for 800.00 , he sold it back to me 150.00. I put a used front clip on for 200.00 then sold it again for 600.00 . Wish I would have kept it . 383 , Hearst 4 speed ,orange color like yours was , ran like a top .!!!

I have a 68 Roadrunner and this video is going to help me quite a bit. Thank you. I really like these long in depth builds where you get to see everything even the guys just wrenching.

See, THIS is what I'm talking about. The purple Challenger build was beautiful and very complete and refined, but I thought it had the wrong stance. Nothing menacing about it to my eyes. But this here? It has a good stance. It's more hunkered down. Impressive #s from that light hemi build. Apparently they love cam, intake, and fuel!

Also, one build I have been dying to see is a bored and stroked Gen 1 Hemi with high compression pistons, custom CNC aluminum heads, oversized valves, a big cam, modern MPFI, and some custom built long tube headers.

You can see it but you can't smell the interior.......my dad had one when I grew up,69 roadrunner with 383 and 3 speed torque flight auto,8 track am stereo heater. No power steering or ac. I put my head through the window playing dukes of hazard at a yard sale and busted the window out. I had to go get stitches lol. I didn't realize that the window was up when I dove through the air towards the front seat as I was 5 years old lol. I can still remember that smell though and those hot seats in the summer that left your legs and back melted into the seats ,especially considering that it was a black car.
