[4Cruizn]

Goody I thought the same thing!!   That needs painting??     Sweet car!   

[Super Blue 72]

   That paint looks way better than mine!

You aren't going to leave those wheels on the car while it's being painted are you? I made that mistake, and even though the painter used tire covers I still had light overspray on the wheels. It was the pits to clean off, to put it mildly!

Keep track of the fender tags too

Looks pretty good now. let's here some details.

sorry for the confusion, the engine compartment holes from the engine swap are getting welded closed and an spray is going to be done

also both front fenders did not have enuff paint so the black or grey primer underneath gives the fenders a sorta lime yellow appearance

especially with the newly yellow painted t/a hood - the fenders will be faded from the hood into both doors

the bottom crease of both doors were lacking enuff paint also and have surface rust so they will be prepped and sprayed as well

great suggestion re: the wheels - I will bring this to the attention of the body shop owner

Yup, that "yeller" takes ALOT of paint! (don't ask me how I know)

Good luck, but I hope you change the wheels and tires before they start.

my body shop owner called yesterday said he will only do the engine compartment now since it is a 2 man shop & too hard to move car around without engine

that's okay, complete engine bay and install hemi & then go back to body shop 

[70RTdroptop]

Yep, that's pretty exciting to  have that happen.  How soon to having the car up and running ?

[cudabuyer]
