"We could, of course, make the car nice and shiny so that it looks like new, but instead we will give it a shitty, tattered look to cause as much annoyance as possible." Made!
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!
Love these builds. The motor guys really get excited with their engine builds.
Fun to watch and educational.
Lots of action.
"Wiring the car can be scary", I guess I'm a weirdo because the engine scares me more than the wiring, I love it! This is a real great build, thanks for sharing with us all!
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.
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.
Excellent series! I don't get whatever channel PN is currently on, so these complete builds on YT are great! Not a Mopar guy but that turned out nice. 👍👍
I found them on a streaming service we had I don't remember what it was and then I found their UAclips and I've watched since then been a year or since I started watching them
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 sold my GTS when I got drafted in ‘70. Bought a ‘73 roadrunner after basic and AIT.
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.
You guys are awesome for releasing so much stuff on UAclips.
Looking forward to watching this whole video. But I certainly CAN say after having done a couple of builds, seeing a yard full of car husks fills me with the dread of having to dedicate months to dealing with rust, rotted parts, sourcing random pieces, and everything else. It was fun but my time isn’t worth that now sadly.
Great build! Personally, if this was going to be out and about more than at the track, would have went with comfortable buckets. Maybe even a bench up front.
The dash restoration looked very time consuming but the finished result was well worth the time
CONGRATULATIONS
YOU GUYS HAVE DONE ONE HELL OF A JOB.
COMMENTARY AND DETAILS WAS GREAT.
REALLY ENJOYED A 3HR VIDEO.
Very cool car! Love these full builds.
Another thing I most certainly would have done since you had no obstructions was the undercoat the bottom of that car. My personal note those seats are hideous and look incredibly uncomfortable but in general absolutely love what you did.
Thank you for the full builds, I love ‘em.
Can you put the Le Mans as a full build episode.
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!
Engine bay looks good, but I think it would've looked better with a flat black scheme.
Great work, y'all!
Also, one build I have been dying to see is a bored and stroked Gen 1 Hemi with high compression pistons, custom CNC aluminum heads, oversized valves, a big cam, modern MPFI, and some custom built long tube headers. I have also always wanted to get my hands on a Buick Straight Eight and give it the same treatment, but with a cross flow head, and a big thumpy cam.
Come on y'all, tell me you true car enthusiasts who watch channels like these haven't had the same dreams.
Daaamn the editing and production of this video is freaking amazing. Props to the guys behind the camera.
Love these fuuuull build's
And you put the A team on it

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.
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.
A friend of mine had one in high school I asked him to lite up the tires and the driveshaft broke. Pretty good torque curve.
@POWERNATION~ First, FANTASTIC VIDEO!! There were SO MANY excellent restoration tips, hacks & tricks in this project build, I took several pages of notes! With that said, I was wondering if you could tell me about a few products you used in the restoration aspects of the build, that are NOT listed or linked in the description of this video: 1) DASH BOARD: What BRAND were the series of products you used to re-create the "WRINKLE FINISH" in the dash board restoration? 2) INTERIOR DOOR PANELS: What Brand of paint product did you use to RE-COLOR your door panels from White to Black? Thank you for putting together these FULL BUILD videos, they're awesome! ~~Christy~~
I had so much fun just watching it that I burst out laughing. This was a wonderful video that made me excited.Thank you for uploading it!
When the Runners first came out, they had a very distinct sound.
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.
can't wait to finish the vid. Thanks for all you guys do love your program!
Love these whole build videos
The car turned out great, good work!
Most definitely a Camaro fan n y’all did a great job really. Rite knowledge n ppl will do it every time.
Wow Puddin, I’m so proud for you! Loved the video and the cool conference you attended.
FYI for Mopar guys. I had a 68 coronet. The old amp gauge died and I installed an aftermarket gauge. I used the pigtail connection. It resulted in resistance and heat. That particular year had a circuit breaker in the dash. After a few miles it would trip killing the car until it cooled off. An old school mechanic chased it down and used good crimp and solder connectors. Problem solved!
Really well thought out! Congratulations.
This is awesome . Mint production team.
Still miss my '69 Road Runner. Man, what a great car.
Love the car my parents had one love what you did with the car ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Really great build. Thanks for the adventure .
As an old railroad mechanic I can appreciate the skill level these guys have.
Do you actually think these guys built this car? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Back around 1995 I lived in Arcadia California, and one of my neighbors had a collection of about 10 mint condition Mopars. Road Runners, Daytonas, Chargers. I wonder if he’s still around and has his collection. Dude was sitting on like a million bucks worth of Mopars in todays standards.
I love watching Tommy try to read the teleprompter without mud-sentence pauses! 😂😂😂😂
I love everything about that ROAD BURNER!!
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!
Road burner is looking badass.
I'm a JDM kind of guy, but this stuff is so interesting & entertaining!
I’m kind of shocked you didn’t put any sound deadener under that carpet, or behind the door panels. It was the perfect opportunity to do so.
Not that kind of car build...
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.
Guys great work, the car has acquired a new look. Work for 10 points.
Oh, and I love seeing these three-pedal builds. Tired of seeing all the automatics!
If you ever do a 1968 Road Runner, I'd love to see THAT!
I wish I had the knowledge to know how to do things like this. I really want to learn automechanics
Love this channel this is the first episode that I've seen, but I think it's the channel I've been looking for
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.
Ok, first let me say I love the car. I'm a MOPAR or NO CAR kind of guy. The one thing I would change is ( yeah you guessed it) Paint. I think it would look great in black or even better plumb crazy. All in all it was a great build and you guys have way too much fun. 🤣😂😅
Great show ! Love the full episode edit, all the skits & the jokes are funny ha ha . I live in Fairview & I’m hoping I can find these Mopars which are in my back yard I think . Stephens auto is on my street (Cardinal Ln)& there’s another junk yard on down Horn Tavern that has a band or bar idk. Any hints ?
See, THIS is what I'm talking about. The purple Challenger build was beautiful and very complete and refined, but I thought it had the wrong stance. Nothing menacing about it to my eyes.
But this here? It has a good stance. It's more hunkered down.
Impressive #s from that light hemi build. Apparently they love cam, intake, and fuel!
I love the video but man it triggers me they call that valve dropping 05-08 5.7 a 6.4 lol but great video been wanting to see the carb setup on one of these
Du super boulot !!!!!
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!
There's some hilarious skits in this one. Love it and I don't even know a damn thing about building or restoring a car. I just know that I love cars in general.
Thank you so entertaining and thought provoking. New idea for paint on my 69 GTO dream
I enjoy watching the restorations like this, but they never sand blasted the undercarriage or the inside of the car before adding the new parts. So it wasn't really a FULL restoration. It seems like they had the ability to do that and the one guy talked about doing things right, but they skipped what seems like an important part.
Out of the bajillion dream cars, a 1970 Road Runner is in my top 3. Well more specifically, a 1970 RoadRunner body on a 2017+ Challenger Hellcat among trying to convince my aunt to let me buy her solar yellow 2004 Rumble Bee, restore it and put a 6.4 Hemi in it
FINALLY the Engine build is included. THANKS!
Maybe he just had some Taco Bell the night before and is still waiting for the sweet release when the red hot lava finally comes out.
I for sure feel very uncomfortable after a huge spicy meal and regret it until it finally comes out the next day.
First it’s pain again, but then comes the sweet relief and you can smile again.
@Nick Radloff yeah covid was a huge deal in 2016 when this build was done for sure.
@IPlayAnExpertOnTheInternet - How old is that dyno run?
@Nick Radloff makes sense.
@IPlayAnExpertOnTheInternet 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.
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
You blokes are a funny lot! Thanks for some entertaining information today...love to watch you boys laugh!
I’m so excited to see you driving that Beaty one day soon!
It don't matter what it's got under the hood, manual or automatic, it's a roadrunner. It was born a muscle car and it'll always be one just like my 70 roadrunner. 383 automatic car.
The cotter pin (split pin I'm in the UK LOL) you almost got it right; bend the first leg over and snit the second leg but then use a punch to bend the second leg over the frame/nut away from you Great Video Thanks
Just use a shorter pin and spread it a little... it just has to stay in there...
You really did alotta work on that rear end with such clean hands and such a clean shop. Haha
The build is awesome but I have always hated skinny front tires in both looks and handling ability. I know the point of them but think the car would look far better and handle better with wider street tires up front.
That's the car for a special project as longer the body don't have much rust is that what I am looking for love it 👍
Great build!
Enjoy the Upgrades. Great Information.
I still like a 68 Marquis best.
Not normally a fan of the patina look but that turned into one bad ass looking car
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
I live about 45 mins away from here so me and my friend hearing about it went out there to see if we could walk around and see what they got and he told us “insurance won’t allow us to let anyone back”
@ Detroit Muscle of PowerNation,
I love the Stint from this Time Frame of 1:44:34 Thru 1:45:49/2:58:37. Need Some More Cool Script {Story-Board] Writing during the Builds. All to the Rest of the UAclips Community, This Teamed-Up Set of Many of Teams of PowerNation dues Give A-Lot-Of Technology Informational Concepts for Anyone who is Building any Style of Hot Rods, Muscle Cars and Low Pro Sleepers, Even to Mention Stock Looking Sleepers. 🤔 😃🤫😛
Never use steel wool to polish your glass with the glass installed on your vehicle. The steel wool breaks off tiny strands of wool that will land on the lower part where the glass meets the body and start to rust if you don't rinse that area well to remove the tiny wool strands. It also leaves spider web scratches on the glass when the sun is reflected on the glass. You will need the polish the glass to remove the spider-web scratches.
Espero y algun dia salga traducido a español
My aunt always talks about her 69 roadrunner that she bought slightly used for $2200 with a 440 and a manual that would pop wheelies when u skipped 3rd downshifting until someone stole the engine as she slept
It looks like it handles good I didn't see any body lean on those corners nice nothing like a bigger car that can hug the corners
Road runners with torsion bars didn't lean, anyway... they had a stiff suspension...
The engine that impressed me the most was the engine that fab rat kinda rebuild lol it was sitting in the bottom of a lake for 30 years they basically cleaned it and start it and put it back in the same boat that they salvage they named it the yellow submarine it is on youtube
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 love the 1969 Roadrunner in the GTX you see how wonderful he's going to look you finished with it get down brother
"There's some pullin' and tuggin', some gluin' and screwin'. So, whenever you apply those simple techniques, you'll definitely finish with a smile on your face". (1:53:18) Boy... that REALLY reminds me of some of my high school dates in my '58 Chevy Bel Air. Sigh.
I cried when I learned Plymoth was no longer a thing putting together a 71 Hemi Cuda model as a kid lol. Here I am over 40 years later and still would take even a Sundance over any modern car.
Also lost Pontiac, Olds, Mercury, Saturn...
When my kids say "dad theres a monster under my bed" I'm gonna say no it's in the Detroit Muscle Garage 🤠
Great video could you tell me where did you purchase the steering wheel column and the steering wheel that was not mentioned on the program.
That was awesome thanks guys
I love when he brought up mullet, and those wheels: cleetus mcfarland would love to see that
I'm sorry but these guys are the best if I had the money I will let them build me a car anytime💯💪🔥
77 year old MOPAR man here. Loved this article❗❤😁👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✌
Video and project.....highest score possible.....10/10....
dwafawf1323
So cool to see these discarded and forgotten cars restored to their former glory. If you have the money know how and equipment it can be done.
What will a setup like this one COST ?
Always wanted a 1969 Roadrunner. Imho the best looking one. But I am just too young to grab me a nice expample back when they were obtainable..
Sooooo many helpful tips❗Thanx a lot❗😂
