Awsum picture.   :eek2:  Kenny really didnt mean to get the car caught in a rain storm to wash it.  

But it's beautiful :2thumbs:
I meant a wash with the hose not take it out in the rain :clapping: still looks awesome and looking forward to more progress pictures :drool: .  This is a cool looking car :2thumbs:

OK, so I couldn't stand it just sitting there, so I took it for a ride. OK, so I took it for a ride to the end of the driveway and back. Six times. Sideways once  :burnout:

Getting close to finished - need to put in the side glass, the grille and valance insert and door top trim and, I'm done! Shooting for May so I'll have a lot of time for the little details.

Here are the shots:

Burnt Orange is a stunning color when freshly painted.... pitty the old paint formulas did not hold up in the sun and show it luster like the new paints do :drool: :2thumbs:

Boy ya know ,I was totally sold on Go-Mango for my T/A tribute 70 Challenger but now....  :pullinghair: Your colour would look great too???? That looks so good! I keep comming back to look at your pictures! My first car was a 73 Challenger , it was a metalic copper colour, not quite the same as yours darker but it sure brings back great memories!Yours is sort of a comprimise between Go-Mango and my original colour!
