He really got the side body lines straight as an arrow. Those were driving me crazy trying to sand those straight.

It's looks like it is coming along nicely.  I'm hoping that I will be able to see my car in that stage this year.  Keep the pictures coming as you make progress.

As for color, It is a hard decision. If somebody asked you what color Cuda you would like to have, what would you say today?
Would you change your answer to another color tomorrow, next week?

That sounds like a good problem to have!  Well, for my :2cents: just to change it up I would go with a different color from your Challengers.  Anything will look good though.

Since this will be for my wife to drive, she did mention that yellow is her most hated color. So I guess yellow or any shade of it is out.

What are you guys leaning towards?  Ever consider non mopar colors like Chevrolet Rally Green?

Looks like we are going with BLACK.  Same guy that did the body work promised that it is smooth enough for any color including black, so I'm going with black. I asked him for a single stage urethane black without a clear coat and not to buff it. He quoted me $1000 to paint it, jambs, under the trunk and hood. I told him to go ahead and paint it. Not having it buffed out is saving me about $2200.

It's going to look mean with my black semi-gloss billboards on it!

Don,
Did you know that both of my cars are Chevy "HUGGER" Orange?
The Pace Car had a clear added to it so it didn't turn out as dark as I wanted. I paid an extra $100 for that too!
Next time, no clear added to my single stage paint!
