Thanks for all the comments. :2thumbs:
At least on my monitor it is not as red shade as it is in person, but I 'm VERY happy with the color. I'm over here hanging fenders and trying to figure out how to get it to the rack and put it on the dolleys. It's raining and a 25 mph wind today. :walkaway:

Hi
Well I managed to get her down on dolley's with a little help from some better weather. Most of the body panels are on but still need final alignment. As you can see there has been a change of plans on the hood. I was asked if I would sell my shaker to complete a guy's project as he needed it NOW.
To be honest I like the R/T hoods looks better on a Challenger.
Hope everyone has a great Christmas!
Dave

Dave, you are one dedicated hombre. If my wife and kids even saw me near the car today, they would kill me. I had to sneak to the computer, just to see what was going on at C.C. Gotta go, my 9 year old is after me to play guitar hero (playstation).

Thanks again everyone.
Here are some pictures, they aren't very exciting. The first block sanding is done and with a little more work it will be ready to go back into primer again.
I temporarily installed the front valance to finish the filler work also.
I added a picture of the Daytona that left last week, it was the one in the back ground of one of the earlier pictures of my car.
This post needed some COLOR. :lol:
