FINALLY the Engine build is included. THANKS!
Did Tom look really uncomfortable throughout that segment?
@@airtioteclint I thought maybe it was just me. Perhaps he is sick or something? He was standing a good distance away from them. Usually he's standing pretty close to the dyno controls and excited. Flu and covid and all kinds of bugs are still floating around.
@@naradloff makes sense.
@@airtioteclint - How old is that dyno run?
@@naradloff yeah covid was a huge deal in 2016 when this build was done for sure.
That was excellent. I bought a '69 RR when I was a young man in the Navy. Life brings all types of fortunes, including misfortunes and I was forced to sell it. I miss that car and this episode let me relive some things vicariously. Thanks.
Man I love this build , I had a 69 roadrunner in high-school in 1978, sold in 81 after I left home to be soldier in the Army. Regret it still and I'm 60 now. Nice job fellas 👏 👌
I bought a 1970 Roadrunner in 1973 but sold it when I was assigned to the ROK in 1976. It was all original and I wish I had it today.
I sold my GTS when I got drafted in ‘70. Bought a ‘73 roadrunner after basic and AIT.
I bought a 68 Roadrunner with a 383 Magnum in 77 for $300, wrecked the front clip and sold it for $450, and thought I was being shrewd. What a dumbass. That thing would be worth a fortune now. It was just sheet metal damage. Still ran fine.
Hindsight is 20/20.
I graduated in '79. I was lucky enough to get ahold and still within reach dollar wise a '71 Superbee (its last production year). I got it my junior year in high school from a newly married guy living on the East side of Detroit whose new wife said to him "Its me or the car honey!" It was mustard yellow and flat black packed with the Mopar 440 big block. Me and my buddies rebuilt the 440 and had the time of our lives zipping up and down Woodward Ave.......Well, to make a long story short, I let my sister go pick up her girlfriends from school one day my senior year and she wiped it out on a set of parking poles with all of her friends packed inside of it. They were all ok, the car was completely totaled. Need I say more.....lesson learned.I just turned 63 today and not a week goes by that I don't think about the great times we all had in that ride.....
Okay I promise last comment. I'm a photographer and cinematographer as a hobby and I love the camera angles y'all have used in this video.
Man im going to cry. Seeing all them oldie goldies rust away😢😢😢😢
Tommy and Joel................what a great team. Awesome build
Roadrunners were popular when I was in high school. I drove a 63 Impala for awhile, then got a 67 Olds 442. Great build guys. Thanks.
Love these builds. The motor guys really get excited with their engine builds.
Fun to watch and educational.
Lots of action.
powernation always has cool people on it
I saw one of these at cars and coffee. It was a rat rod build. And it had American Racing Salt Flat wheels, a T56 6 Speed and a Twin Turbo 440 with a custom intake to have 3 4 Barrell Holley 750s. And a Hell Cat Rear End with a 3 way LSD. And the biggest brakes I've ever seen.
I really enjoyed this video and it does give me hope that you can keep an older vehicle alive. Thanks for that!! Would certainly like to see more of this content!
I rfeally like this format. Link all the episodes to one video! Saves me a lot of time searching for the next video. Thanks guys!
We Love the interactions that Thomas has with Ted Stephen, the owner of the parts cars! We’re planning a trip to Stephens Performance just because of it. ❤😂🥰
The camera work and editing just went through the roof in terms of improvement. The angles and quick edits keep the flow of the show engaging. I've been watching power nation for a long time, this episode had the best flow to date. Awesome job guys!
By JK hi I hi😢 CT
😂😮😮
ironic ?
CONGRATULATIONS
YOU GUYS HAVE DONE ONE HELL OF A JOB.
COMMENTARY AND DETAILS WAS GREAT.
REALLY ENJOYED A 3HR VIDEO.
Man, do I ever wish I had an Oscar! His work on that cage (not to mention just about anything he does) looks awesome! And he banged it out quick!
2:04:36. I cant believe they gave me a free shout out. How thoughtful.
Video and project.....highest score possible.....10/10....

What a great video! I will have to admit I was a bit envious watching the transformation.
I grew up a mopar man. My dad and grandpa owned a service station. Dad was hardcore mopar. I owned a ‘69 GTX. I loved that car. Unfortunately my ex new that and that’s all she wanted when we got divorced. I have owned 6 mopar s cars and trucks. And always will. To be honest I would love to find a ‘68 Dodge GTS (high school car. Cost me a whole $2480 new) with a worked over 273. I’d take a 340 if I had to!!!!!But @ 70, I have neither the time, energy or $ anymore. So living vicariously through this video was great..:thanks!
Road burner is looking badass.
Wow 😮
An all Mopar junkyard???
I would be in absolute heaven
Paint it Hemi Orange! 🍊
not going to lie I really appreciate the full build videos. and not charging us for them even though they are basically commercials in the first place
My dad had a '69 Roadrunner 383 and pistol grip 4. It was Midnight blue and had "Midnight Special" in script on the quarters and POUNDED the ground. Always been my dream car. Nice to see one..
Always been a gm man but my father in law was a mopar guy who had a 69 roadrunner convertible b7 blue with 383 and torqueflite. Almost didn’t give me his blessing for his daughter’s hand in marriage, deal breaker was we had to have the roadrunner in the wedding photo. This build brought back memories of a great man, well done guys!
So you took the time to airbrush rust on it but you decided not to give it a good paint job and you went with carburation instead of fuel injection what are you guys doing to that poor thing
@@davidsias5351 To each their own, I try not to judge someone else’s build based on what I would’ve done/not done. If it’s cool to them it’s cool to me
@David Sias Nothing wrong with carburators, man. They are era appropriate.
@@davidsias5351 not to mention the gap between affording carbs and efi in rebuilds are thousands not hundreds
Mother's old '69 Charger RT had what we called two men and a boy brakes. Dog runs out in front of you and you end up with both hand hauling back on the steering wheel to get more pressure on that brake pedal. (Did happen while I was as a teenager driving and I did barely miss the dog.) I do heartily approve of better running gear and brakes.
You guys are awesome for releasing so much stuff on RUclips.
Man Dalton. You guys are absolutely brave souls. I was scared for ya.
can't wait to finish the vid. Thanks for all you guys do love your program!
This was a really good video especially for a guy like me who is some what of a noob. I have a lot of old cars I have collected and I've slowly teaching myself what I can. I have a 68 Roadrunner and this video is going to help me quite a bit. Thank you. I really like these long in depth builds where you get to see everything even the guys just wrenching. Showing the actual time this stuff takes is important.
..Cant Watch This, My Dad Totaled Mine As I Was Due To Graduate H.S. .. It Has Fueled A Resentment In Me That Has Forever Changed Me And The Whole Dynamics Of What "The Way Things Should Have Been", And I Droped Out Because Of It And Went Life Down A Different Path Than What Would Of ,Should Of. .
But Still one Of My Most Fave Cars Ever And Of The 6 Cars Ive Owned In My Life 5 Have Been mopar ! My Stepson Rolled Our Wifes &Mine 440 Cordoba W/ His We Found Out Pregnate
G. F. With Their First , He Was Coming Down A Canal Road In Mesa
And It Had Slicks On The Rear And He Bumped The Gas (His Story)And the Tirres Broke Loose In Some Pea Gravel B.S. And It Spun Out Past The Horizon Point Of The Ditch Line And Rolled Into Ditch Luckly It Was Suummer A Dryer Than A Popcorn Fart Back In The 85 86 Years So There Wasnt Any Water In The Ditch.. That Was One Of The Reasons The Grouund Dust Gave Way So Easy plus If I (kno Roger Her Probably Did A Hole Shot With It Showin zoff For His GF And Lost It.. I Didnt Look ,At S whole Lot Of Tracks when They Recovered The Car With The Tow Truck We Were Glad No one Was Injured So All Was Well .. Take Care , love ur channel..👍🇺🇲
To me there are no new cars as sexy as these old muscle cars. Beautiful work guys!
that is how i was tought to bend a cotter pin, turns out the old man knew a thing or two and passed it on, great work guys love the videos keep on truckin!!
Coming from the military aviation world very close should also bend the lower one down. but not touching\beyond the nut. same as the top should not extend past the bolt but right to the edge.
should also go in the direction of travel or gravity (so if you had the choice, the head should have been on top. or to the front of the car.
American 60’s muscle is like… the best looking cars around. Nothing tops the looks and feel of a big, heavy engine inside of an absolutely stunning body.
Daaamn the editing and production of this video is freaking amazing. Props to the guys behind the camera.
I’m glade it came to RUclips. Takes back when was little
Very cool car! Love these full builds.
Really great build. Thanks for the adventure .
Very nice work thanks for your time 😊
My dad when I was a kid had a 69 Super Bee with a 383 and a 3 speed manual on the floor. I have a lot of fond memories of that car, and would like to find one someday to fix up.
Still miss my '69 Road Runner. Man, what a great car.
It must be fun as hell to have all the parts you need to do even a minor up grade like this. Keep up the good work.
Old car maintenance, master skilled
Really well thought out! Congratulations.
kotter/Kodder pins are my favorite piece of engineering
Perfect viewing for Christmas holidays.
This guy throws his hand gestures about like mad but can’t help but listen to him. He’ll have his act polished in a couple of years and will be one of the best in the business
Which guy?😂
This is awesome . Mint production team.
The Road Runner is the Classic American muscle car which is so much better than the crap we had, in the Land of Rust & Corruption of the UK, great show 👍
Tampa Florida check in I bought a new one of these while at Ft Hood Texas and it was awesome thanks for the memories
I love watching Tommy try to read the teleprompter without mud-sentence pauses! 😂😂😂😂
I’m so excited to see you driving that Beaty one day soon!
Love these fuuuull build's
And you put the A team on it
Keepemcoming
Love these whole build videos
Thank you Tommy
I been watching these shows since they were on spike tv on Sunday mornings when I was a tech.
If you ever do a 1968 Road Runner, I'd love to see THAT!
Great look 👀!
Fantastic video! Thank you so much for explaining 🙏
You guys are amazing to watch, I can watch ya'll all day. Keep up the good work and the tips you all give are worth more than gold. Great job guys, love the show and now on youtube, fantastic!
The dash restoration looked very time consuming but the finished result was well worth the time
Love this channel this is the first episode that I've seen, but I think it's the channel I've been looking for
Best Christmas gift ever!!
Wow Puddin, I’m so proud for you! Loved the video and the cool conference you attended.
its the cleanest garage ive ever seen , you could eat your dinner off the floor
These guys have a dream job. Keep up the good work!
I love the build! keep up the great content
The Road Runner signature horn is off of a forklift?! I can believe that! I operated enough forklifts in my life!
As an old railroad mechanic I can appreciate the skill level these guys have.
Do you actually think these guys built this car? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love what u do team, sending my love and likes all the way from South Africa. I always watch everyday.
You’re lucky to be working alongside your Father. Australia, Dad, Diesels.
I love the 1969 Roadrunner in the GTX you see how wonderful he's going to look you finished with it get down brother
Really RUclips a ad every 9 minutes
Use youtube revanced
Or don't be cheap and get premium
@@jake91hall in youtube revanced they offer youtube premium free
Just like when this was on TV
I forgot all about ads. Been on premium since it was called Red.
Outstanding video! The cars were great. Love the Pinto especially
I see a Power Nation upload, I watch.
Mr Bill, you have a great team in your camp. You are a very good story teller, ever though about doing a Podcast? I watch your videos mostly ever night before bed. Lol, have a safe travel. I hope Tony get some good test results on the TKX. Happy NewYear!
Great job!!!!
Thank you for Sharing
I'm a JDM kind of guy, but this stuff is so interesting & entertaining!
where do i get elbow grease? i remember the power block used to be playing in the race shop on the weekends. and if it was raining or we weren't racing for some reason, i was home watching on TNN. now a days, i watch for entertainment just to see people working on cars and i learn something everytime i watch. thank for the years of memories.
Cool Cool Cool! We are building a Roadrunner/GTX (no papers 😀) for the track. Yours looks amazing!
Great build!
That was awesome thanks guys
All the best from Scotland!
Tommy ROCKS !!!
Back in 1973 I bought a 1968 Roadrunner with 60K miles for $250.00! It was in excellent condition except for the right quarter panel, differential, trunk lid and rear bumper. Someone decided to rearrange the aforementioned parts at about 50MPH using the front end of another car or truck.
Love your show ♥️ amazing work!!
Any time you tell Pat how much power you wanna make, no matter how ridiculous, the answer is " no problem", and it always happens...
That's gonna be killer bro 😮 , I love Mopar muscle too 🤘🤘👍👍keep up the good work 👏
My dad had a 69 Plymouth roadrunner it was cream yellow with a black vinyl top, I wonder if it made it into that yard
If Duralast made corn flakes, I'd eat it every day. I'd be tough and live a long time.
Thank you so entertaining and thought provoking. New idea for paint on my 69 GTO dream
Fantastic!!👍🏻😎
Tommy is the Man !!
You are amazing, guys...
You blokes are a funny lot! Thanks for some entertaining information today...love to watch you boys laugh!
Woah mamma! I don't know how this one escaped my radar this long!
You guys have millions you have unlimited budgets
MMI is teaching the same cotter pin "clean" technique, and I love how youtube went streight to the burnt motor build after this... love it!
