Looks really good.  Want to see it when it is done.  Would love to get a ride in it also.  Just remembering my 70 6 pack Cuda.

That's looking great!  Can't wait to start painting mine!  Looks like ill be doing what you did with painting the firewall inner fenders trunk and floors first before you spray the rest of the car.  Great job!

The pictures are the car just in base not cleared yet, Im letting it sit for about a week to make sure nothing comes out in it, then wetsand, put down a few more coats of color then some clear...yeah its to hard to paint the whole car inside and out without having problems that why we jamed it first. Oh my last post i talked about a pos shelby well look...not fun! Im not sure i would even repair this if it was a cuda! ... oh yeah to replace all the floor in a mopar is crazy because of lack of repo parts!.... thats what makes mopars king because you can buy every thing for them! look at this..

Your Challenger is looking great.  And not getting in a hurry is a very good way of doing it.  I have a question.  Have you looked at the Black Challenger that I did?  Do you think it had Clear on it?
