    We were wondering what happened to you Sam.  Glad to hear that your car is in good hands and didn't end up being sold for parts.  The way you were pulling things off so fast kind of worried me.   Won't be long now!

    Haha thanks guys.  Yeah I got carried away but surprisingly even more had to come off. I decided to go with the metallic black t/a paint scheme

    ASo finally after much humbling, I decided to send the car off to Pennsylvania to have just the body finished and painted and then sent back for reassembly to one of the board members here Dave, (farmboy70). 

      Probably the most intelligent thing I've read on this board.   :stirpot:
                 I'm starting to think along the same lines.

    Now that the cats out of the bag, :smilielol: if you want I can post the progress pictures as we go.
    We finished the filler work on the underside and most of the out side last week. It will go to primer this week also.
    We will need the paint code soon as we will be painting the underside first.

    By the time Dave is done, you'll be able to call it a 2010 Dodge Challenger it has so much new metal on it!!!  Besides the front frame rails, was there anything left of the original car? 

    Kudos to both of you :wow:

    Here are a few I took today while at the shop.
    Sam did a great job being new to this type of work.
    My guys were very impressed with what had been done to it when we got it.

    US Car Tool.
    They fit OK with a little trimming.
    We added the tube for the e brake cable.
    I wish I had done this to my car, it really cleans up the cable area.

    As promised(if a little late) here are some of it in primer.
    We had to find two brackets for the rear brake hose mount and e-brake cable mount. I decided not to prime until we had them installed.
    It is coming along, we should be ready for paint on the underside very soon.
