Not sure where you guys are getting "fast paint jobs" from??!?  :clueless:
He never said it was going to be a 2 day HLPAG paint job......

The paint from what I gather would be normal, not rushed or fast as presumed by a few posts.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I would never consider buying an otherwise correct car with a color change.
Way too much trouble to put it back right...

I appreciate everyones input.  I will leave it the original color.  Any paint I do will be decent paint.  I will take the car as far as I have time to do it in.  It is a 383 auto non-air Challenger R/T burnt orange.

There is a possibility of keeping the car now.  I will still do the car original in case it has to go.  I will also post the car if I end up selling it.  Again, thanks for all your help.

I'm not a big fan of seeing these cars flung around willy nilly for the name of $$$.



I agree. But I suppose this crap is never gonna end is it?

Would you rather see a Challenger R/T rescued from a back yard and put back into the market for someone to enjoy or would you rather it "rust in peace"?  I am wondering about your statement of this crap.  It seems as if I am getting slammed for trying to figure out what to do with a car I have saved.  Forgive me if I have taken you wrong. I am happy to see any of them going.  The more the better.  I have absolutely no problem with anyone earning a honest dollor for work on any Challenger/ Cuda they handle, own or work on.  It keeps the hobby going and keeps the cars on the road.  I love to see them on the road.

it`s sounds like you will do the car right and nothing wrong with making an honest buck on it.I think the negative comments were misdirected thinking you were just slapping a cheap skim and shine on to make a big profit.I agree that a correct numbers car is worth more to someone done in the original Burnt Orange.If it was a modified car it would do better high impact,my chioce would be Hemi Orange or Go Mango!

Thanks for the word of encouragement Torredcuda.  I have seen many cars just thrown together.  I have had to redo cars that were just thrown together.  I know of a couple of instances that because the cars were thrown together they lived until someone was able to do them right.  I do not advocate throwing them together or misleading someone on a car.  I have seen cars badly done that were done to the best of the owners ability. The only way to stop the cars from being thrown around or put put together poorly is to own all of them and be in control or get everyone to quit buying them.  The market finds it's own level.  What guys do in this site by alerting of a bad car on Ebay or anywhere is great and needs to continue.  An educated buyer is the best way to stop the "crap" that happens.  As long as there is a buck to be made someone will take advantage of it.  It is unfortunate this happens.
