jump 4 years forward as I got tired of working in a 2 car garage set the roadrunner in the inclosed trailer no 2016. Roadrunner was not still main project as we had to convert a store and lock into a shop, still along way to go but much easier

Absolutely. I think that’s the first time I’ve seen the Alter-K-tion on an F/J/M that wasn’t in RMS’ ads.
 
got some more work done. SRT seats are went in really easier than I had expected, Roll bar is fabed up should help the body flex. and got the body in its first coat of primer a little more to finish but not much
