    Here's a photo of what it looks like with more light added.  Trust me, the color changing effect looks so much cooler in person. ;D  Opps, I screwed this one up.  It turns out the grey you can still see is still the primer.  He just hit a light coat inside because he wasn't expecting the paint to cover as much as it did.

    And my personal favorite.  Please note that I'll be pulling the front suspension and rear axle out to be detailed.  I'll probably be going with a satin black.

    I needed the front wheels intact so I could pull it around with a car dolly.  We decided to keep things on and I can always get touch-ups around those mounting points, so I just kept it this way for moving purposes.  When back at my garage, I'll pull the front suspension, get everything blasted and painted, then reinstall everything with new bushings and such.

    Here's the last photo:

    Rev, you're right.  I still have some work that needs to be done on the quarters and a little on the roof.  He finished up the underbody and the engine compartment, both cherried off, and still had so much paint left he decided to get it used up.  The paint on the tail panel will be cleaned off and those dents on the ridge will be straightened out still.  
    360, that's the same thing the shop owner said.  Who's going to know it wasn't a Plum Crazy Challenger from the factory?  Well, except us who know they only painted them PC in '70 and '71.  I'll be able to fool a few brand-Xers... ;D  Thanks for the compliments ya'll. :P
