GB,

That's one mighty fine looking Challenger there. 

Thanks for all the picture. 

I can't wait to get that far along.

Greg.  That top really sets the  yellow off.  Did you fill in around the se window with anything.?  My paint guy said he will probably fill in with mud to raise the recess even with the metal top.

Yes I am still planning to do Y1 Yellow................With the BB stripe and No hood treatment..

I think that this picture (third) helps answer that question.  Filler was used to smooth out the transition areas around the SE window detail.  BTW, I think that someone asked me if there was any rust under the SE window panel.  It was surprisingly in great shape with no rust.

I only has some rust where the top  trim was attached below the window.  Nothing around the window.

That top really does set it off nice. You can tell how nice the body work was when it was in primer - Great work.

Thanks.  I am very happy with the work they did considering all metal work needed.

Dave,  you are really close to where I was at just recently.  FY1 still?  We will be twins

That is super sexy mate. The vinyl top looks like pure class and from what I can see a real show quality job.


Top marks my man.

Thanks.  Before the RT stripes go on I am going to have the shop re-align the door gaps.

Update to the project.  Going back nicely.  Fresh undercoating applied, suspension going in, exhaulst, and drivetrain.
