    Nice job, do you have any "before" shots? What was the original color? Are those Barracuda emblems on the quarters?

    Original color was bronze metallic. Customer wanted it painted the new Dodge Charger color-Burnt orange. I thought I had some before shots...Can't find them. This is a '74, so it has Barracuda emblems on the Qtrs.

    Thanks for all the great comments! The next Mopar projects that are coming to the shop over the next 3 months are a 71 cuda, 64 polara 500 conv, 74 duster, and a 70 challenger RT conv. If the customers will allow me I'll post some pics.
