Looking good  :thumbsup:

Are you going to start the work with your own challenger after this one?

No, next is the Jimmy Carter 72 Imperial.  I might take a couple weeks inbetween that and paint my 68 satellite so I have something for summer.  My challenger is going to be waiting a while!

I have seen ghosts, but thats just special effects! :roflsmiley:

Its been a long time... just taking it easy, so got some time to kill.  Car is about done, just gotta finish the interior, stripes, get the ac done and get the engine fired, plus lots of little things.  Pics are from at least a month ago...

The plan was to have it done alot sooner... but became a bigger project than I anticipated.  I'm a few weeks from having it done finally!

Looking great! I bet you are glad to be close to done with it. Aftermarket white door panels? How do you like them? Are they Palco? How do they fit?

Thanks guys!  The door panels and rear panels are the palco ones.  The door panels I test fitted and seem to fit ok, only thing is the seam doesn't line up with the rear panels.  I think with some tweaking it would be ok.  I have a nice set of originals in black and trying to decide which to use... to try and keep it more original, may dye the black set to white.  I'm leaning towards selling the palco and dying the black ones... just duno yet.

The stripe is ledger green, had to have them custom made as there were very few cars with that color stripe.  Actually this is suppose to be the only sublime car with this stripe as it was special ordered and not a reconmended combo.  On the car in the garage under the lighting they sorta look gold.  The cars very dusty and still has buffing compound on it.  Can't wait til it warms up and get it outside for a good bath. 

I wish it was mine, but when its done and bugs worked out it will be going back to its home in CA.  Of course gotta see how the eheaded 493 run first :grinyes:

I was starting to wonder where you have been! I've been checking out your photobucket from time to time. Are you going to start working with your own chally after this one is ready?

Anyway looking great!
