Love the color.  I've pretty much settled on it for my Challenger.  Some black accents would look good, a spoiler would really help.

NZ,

Well, I'm trying to do it all myself.  I live next door to my father-in-law, who has a fairly large machine shop.  So that helps.  I'm going to do the sheet metal repair myself, I'm learnig to MIG weld as I go.  I'm in the process of rebuilding a 440 for it, I'll have most of the machine work done by by a shop near me that does a lot of Mopars, tho I'll probably do a mild port job on the heads myself.  Engine assembly and installation I'll do myself.  My father-in-law can paint, so I'll try to bribe him into helping me shoot the Lime Green paint.  Interior etc. is about done, just need to put it all back where I got it.  ;D

Very cool mate, very cool.
After my Challenger's done, I'm hopeing to get a new project which I'll have a crack at doing most of it myself, not to much engine work, mailny body, interior, paint etc.
First I have to find me a house   ;D

Your car sounds good mate, I bet your getting excited I can hardly sleep at night think of the rumbling 440  8)

NZ,

I figure it'll be a couple years before it's done, given my limited budget.  That's why I picked up a 73 Road Runner for a daily driver to keep the Mopar Fever at acceptable levels till the Challenger is finished.

Hehehe,

70 Lime, it really looks like an awesome paint job.  Like the rest, I agree with a hockey stripe and a wing.  Hopefully you are able to get your wife to agree, too.  :)
