Hello and Good evening,
I just wanted to say hello and thank you for building such a great site. I have owned my 1977 Volare Road Runner for 15 years and has been a project car. Ive always wanted to restore it to the how I wanted it to be when I had the image of the car in High school. So I have owned it sense I was 14 (I'M 29) and my uncle sold it to me not running, siting on the side of his house and ready for the junk yard. I saved and penny pinched for 2 years and saved up $400 bucks. It was now mine all mine. I had no idea about cars or mechanics I Just knew i loved the body and sharp looks. I how ever didn't realize how hard parts and fellow F-body people were to come by tell I began working on it and trying to fix the broken and worn out parts. I can remember back to the 90's when these cars were never included in any shows or Muscle car mags. My buddy's driving camero's and mustangs joke what the hell is a Volare Roadrunner. My fav all time motivation was on dazed and confused when they had a 76 Roadrunner in the parking lot at the baseball game. I was like see cool people did owe these cars. I was just like one day these cars will be talked about and screw all the mustang and camero guys with there dime a dozen paints and parts. That's when I decide this car was a passion and a life style not just your average Joe's car. So i decide never to sale it. I Joined the Marines and left to war. Losing who I was over and over on 4 combat deployments as a infantry man. I lost my passion for life a little after some close calls of death ( sounds hooky I know but all true ), I lost many friends over the years In The Marines. I finally got home and my mom said Chad you need to get back to you. Who you were before the madness. She said your dad and I Don't have the money to do all we want to you car but will help you start rolling. So after being home I've thrown myself into the car as a escape from my daily life. I feel normal and 16 again driving it. I seems to only get around 5-10 mpg lol so every pay day I feel up at $4.09 a gallon. I love my F-body and anyone who has one knows one know its not just a volare or aspen. there Muscle cars and deserve respect along with there older brothers. So as of now I've been bring her back to life one day at a time. These sites are amazing the possibles, ideas and help they offer. These clubs are true Brother Hoods so I just wanted to say hello to my new family and thanks in advance. See you around...
