'69 Ram Air convertible resto
 

I picked this up a couple years ago and finally started the process. RA III M-21 3.90 car. Verdoro green/black/black...will not be green in the end :D

New floors, passenger 1/4 skin and outer wheel house, few small patches in other spots.Good deck lid, trunk pan. Driver's 1/4 was replaced with NOS a long time ago.

Wasn't going to be a frame-off but it looks like it's headed that way now.

Subscribing!

Frame was blasted and had repairs around steering box. Front suspension will be restored too, just needed them back on for sheet metal work.

Sheet metal guy does good work. Works out of his home.

Moving further on it. Friend did all prep and paint. Saving me a lot of $. Block at machine shop getting inspected. Supposedly, did not need rebuild but shop thinks otherwise :confused:

Picking body up this weekend hopefully. Then I've got to drop the frame, paint frame and install new stuff

Wow!

I like the 69 Chevelle hanging out with it in your garage too.

Looking good Tom

Looks very nice. Floor pan looks good too. How did you brace off the body to keep it from flexing? From the pic it looks like the doors were left in place.

Thanks folks.

I wasn't there when the floor was put in but I believe the body was still bolted to the frame and the doors were left on for proper support. Inner rockers were also done at that time, to facilitate the one piece floor plan installation.

Looks great! Nice to see this awesome car being brought back to life!

Off the trailer and back home. Trying to scrape up some change to continue engine rebuild.

IS the original block gone or still intact? What are your plans there?

Original block is gone. Car has a 2nd week of February, of '69 production date. I've got a complete November of '68 WS block, carb to pan. It was standard bore but will need to go .030 over. It's at the machine shop, ready to be rebuilt when I give them the green light. M-21 and 3.90 are already rebuilt. Hopefully by spring, it'll be on the road.

I'm thinking about going with red Legendary interior instead of black. I've got the black interior, that's nice driver quality already but think red might be a worthy investment?

Black with Red Guts would be fantastic!

another vote for red interior…

No Voodoo green.. pu**y! :D

Great looking car and red guts would be way cool!

RAIII resto rounding the bend...finally
 

Yeah, its been a while but the end in sight...I had the paint done before the frame...long story...almost ready to set the queen on the thrown again.
