Restoration Guide Book

Bopar · 09-22-2007, 11:07 AM

Hi Folks,

I'm new to this forum (and mopars). I've been looking at mopars a lot lately at the local cruise nights, and was wondering if anyone can suggest a good introductory buyer's/restoration guide.

Basically, I hope to be in the market for a roadrunner next year. I need to learn about common problem areas when looking at these vehicles.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I would say look at the forums and do a lot of reading. Typical rot occurs around the rear fender wells, door jambs, pretty much what someone would expect.

Forums are such a rich source of information that Its hard to compete with them. I dont know of any books right offhand, but some of the magazines such as mopar muscle, car craft, and mopar magazine have good articles in them and are worth buying in my opinion.

Same family as the RR, both B-Body Mopars.
