      New guy with 70 Road Runner

      New guy checking in

      I have a 70 Plymouth Road Runner that I have thought about going the Pro Touring route on, found this site on a search engine and joined right in.

      Currently the car is Plum Crazy colored, has a 440 and I'm here for ideas, and to admire the work that others have done



      Well, enough about me

      I have a lot of posts to read thru

      thanks

      i would probably keep it like it is if everything is original. if you want to modify, i would say lower it a little all the way around and put some really nice wider wheels and tires. the car looks great though>

      If it's original, keep it stock. Maybe change the wheels to a wider and taller wheel combination, but it will be worth more if left stock.

      Very nice car!!
      You came to the right place about pro-touring. Either here or www.lateral-g.net, you will get tons of info & ideas.
      If the car is not a numbers matching, I, personally would go the pro-touring route.

      Very nice car. I am a fellow b body guy here. I am planning on going with the "pro touring lite" route....some good replacement suspension pieces, new steering box w/ fast ratio pitman, 4 wheel discs and some 18"s. All bolt in and it will turn that runner into a different car. I worked at a shop just building pro touring mopars, so if you have any questions I could tell you some great set ups that would blow your mind.

      Doesn't take much to get that beast to handle well, without ruining the car.
