Detroit Muscle is always on the cutting edge of tackling projects that stand out from the crowd. So look no further than this rough and rugged masterpiece.

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.
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.....
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 im going to cry. Seeing all them oldie goldies rust away😢😢😢😢
Love these builds. The motor guys really get excited with their engine builds.
Fun to watch and educational.
Lots of action.
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.
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.
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.
Tommy and Joel................what a great team. Awesome build
The grease is a good air restrictor for that application. The object is to keep as much air inside the tire when mounting it. Water is used to seat the bead of the tire and grease is used to prevent air from escaping to build up enouggt air force and volume of air to expand the tire. I was the Manager of a very large tire installation company for many years. Keep up the good work. If those old tires hold air and roll. It's a great tire. Bald tires are only really bad when put on the streets. Itself a safty thing.
2:04:36. I cant believe they gave me a free shout out. How thoughtful.
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.
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..
Road burner is looking badass.
powernation always has cool people on it
Video and project.....highest score possible.....10/10....

Wow 😮
An all Mopar junkyard???
I would be in absolute heaven
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.
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.
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 ?
..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..👍🇺🇲
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!
You guys are awesome for releasing so much stuff on CZcams.
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!
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.
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
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. ❤😂🥰
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.
To me there are no new cars as sexy as these old muscle cars. Beautiful work guys!
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!
Still miss my '69 Road Runner. Man, what a great car.
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?😂
can't wait to finish the vid. Thanks for all you guys do love your program!
I’m glade it came to CZcams. Takes back when was little
Very cool car! Love these full builds.
Man Dalton. You guys are absolutely brave souls. I was scared for ya.
Any time you tell Pat how much power you wanna make, no matter how ridiculous, the answer is " no problem", and it always happens...
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.
Really CZcams 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.
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? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Daaamn the editing and production of this video is freaking amazing. Props to the guys behind the camera.
I'm a JDM kind of guy, but this stuff is so interesting & entertaining!
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.
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 👍
I been watching these shows since they were on spike tv on Sunday mornings when I was a tech.
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!
Old car maintenance, master skilled
I bought a1969 road runner as a bank repo for 175.00 drove it for several years and sold it. The guy was working at a tunnel job in the high country . Well he jacked the rear end up so high you couldn't align it, or keep it on the road in winter ! They ran it off the road and smashed the front clip . I sold it to him for 800.00 , he sold it back to me 150.00. I put a used front clip on for 200.00 then sold it again for 600.00 . Wish I would have kept it . 383 , Hearst 4 speed ,orange color like yours was , ran like a top .!!!
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.
This is awesome . Mint production team.
"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!
Idk, I like it. The patina gives it a bit of character and makes it unique.
Yeah all that work they did. Shoulda just painted it I fully agree.
Love these whole build videos
Tampa Florida check in I bought a new one of these while at Ft Hood Texas and it was awesome thanks for the memories
Perfect viewing for Christmas holidays.
kotter/Kodder pins are my favorite piece of engineering
Really well thought out! Congratulations.
Very cool!!!!!! 👍👍
its the cleanest garage ive ever seen , you could eat your dinner off the floor
If you ever do a 1968 Road Runner, I'd love to see THAT!
Woah mamma! I don't know how this one escaped my radar this long!
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.
I love watching Tommy try to read the teleprompter without mud-sentence pauses! 😂😂😂😂
Thank you Tommy
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.
Tommy rocking the vintage Muscle Car jacket at 1:58:41. Nice.
Love these fuuuull build's
And you put the A team on it
Keepemcoming
You blokes are a funny lot! Thanks for some entertaining information today...love to watch you boys laugh!
I love the 1969 Roadrunner in the GTX you see how wonderful he's going to look you finished with it get down brother
Great job!!!!
Paint it Hemi Orange! 🍊
Tommy ROCKS !!!
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!
Fantastic video! Thank you so much for explaining 🙏
The Road Runner signature horn is off of a forklift?! I can believe that! I operated enough forklifts in my life!
I see that the dude at Stephen's performance collects muscle bikes. Nice Sears Spyder, F5 Streeter, and Mark w Eliminator sitting on a shelf in the warehouse!
A much better and faster way to clean glass is to cut a yellow onion in half and rub it on your windows let it dry use spray away cleaner and scott job towels
You can see it but you can't smell the interior.......my dad had one when I grew up,69 roadrunner with 383 and 3 speed torque flight auto,8 track am stereo heater. No power steering or ac. I put my head through the window playing dukes of hazard at a yard sale and busted the window out. I had to go get stitches lol. I didn't realize that the window was up when I dove through the air towards the front seat as I was 5 years old lol. I can still remember that smell though and those hot seats in the summer that left your legs and back melted into the seats ,especially considering that it was a black car.
Very nice work thanks for your time 😊
Best Christmas gift ever!!
That was awesome thanks guys
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.
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.
Great build!
I have American thunder flow master on my full size 89 bronco.
Everyone loves the rumble of that truck.
Great look 👀!
its a cool transfomation i like it😗☺☺☺☺
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!
Thank you so entertaining and thought provoking. New idea for paint on my 69 GTO dream
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 👍
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
You are amazing, guys...
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!
Wow Puddin, I’m so proud for you! Loved the video and the cool conference you attended.
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.
I’m so excited to see you driving that Beaty one day soon!
