I found the wiper motor on an old AMT Dodge Challenger firewall and I added a power brake booster. More GTX to come...

The engine bay is complete. I even added the extra horn on the other side of the radiator core support. After looking at several other builds of the '69 GTX, I noticed a squat in the rear suspension. I decided to add a couple of risers to the rear leaf springs to raise the suspension a little. More GTX to come...

Coming along very nicely on this one Mike. Starting to shape up into a fine looking Roadrunner. Of all the cars I've ever built in my lifetime, I don't think I've ever built a Roadrunner.

Sorry Joe, but this is not a Roadrunner. It is a GTX!

I added the Air Induction for the GTX even though I don't have the proper hood for it. The dash has been detailed and is ready for the rest of the interior. I started foiling the sides of the GTX. So far I have the front clip is completed. More GTX to come...

I foiled the side moldings this afternoon. I have to use Metal Foil Adhesive which is another step for me. Maybe it is time I broke down and got some new foil. More Mopar to come...

My attention span must be getting shorter than usual. I have finished the front and rear window frames. I still have to do the side window frames. More GTX to come...

I finally finished foiling the GTX. I had to finish the foiling the drip rails and the side vent windows. After I had done that, I painted the interior roof with Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black. More GTX to come...

I went and clearcoated the GTX this afternoon and it went rather well until I got to the top of the roof and the trunk panel. Looks like my Tamiya TS-13 Gloss Clear was a little too hot for the MCW Enamel paint. Looks like I have some wet sanding to do later. More GTX to come...
