Hey guys, names TJ. I got a 69' Roadrunner project, BIG project Hawaii weather isnt too friendly on steel. But she is rumored to be the only 4spd on the island.

The picture my friend showed me after I got wind his friend just picked one up from another one of his friends, looked great from a distance(the orange/mustard one)
So about 3 months after I saw that I heard someone was gonna buy it from the otherside of the island so I cut there line and jumped on it. It was pretty rough when I got there, guy was saying he was gonna put it on craigslist for $1200!!! I walked out of there with the RR and the satellite 4 door for $500. I had to call a good friend of mine to actually convince me to buy it, but he made it clear Ive always wanted a 69' Plymouth so I couldnt resist but she is a project.

Day I brought her to my friends house.

As she sits now, minus suspension.

She is rough, but the pay off for the rumored ONLY 4spd 69 on the island will be great.
Anyway I am looking for advice/help because I dont want to just drive this in a straight line. An aggressive street machine that will raise eye brows or have jaws drop SCCA auto x meets as well as can run the 1/4 with a respectable time is my plan. So Ill be around asking suspension questions mostly, see ya on the board.
