the only thing left on the body shell to fix is the lower rad support , I got an undamaged one from another car that will be grafted on to replace the mangled one on there now .
 They welded the 1/4s on flawlessly , there is no fill in the first pic just the bare steel

Did they replace full quarters or just skins on your car Neil ?  It does look awesome in bare steel :2thumbs:

just the lower 1/4 from the body line down 1/2 way up the panel + they cut around the sidelight openings as the re-pop 1/4s had poorly formed openings for the side lights

It looks like they did a really good job then, i know what you mean about the side marker lights not looking like they are formed right, does not look like there will be much more of a wait now.  Do you have the formula for the T6 Tan paint ?

NOt really I am kinda depending on the paint shop mix , but we know how far off that can be , I really want to find a good sample of it so I know what it should look like , I blew my opportunity at Carlisle but there are a couple of shows here

I will have to have a dig around to see what i have, if i have something i can remove from the car i could send you a sample of what i have.  Not sure what i got or if anything would be small enough to send ?  I hope you find  a sample of the color, if not i will try help. :2thumbs:

He needs the exterior color in Tan Metallic because his Bumble Bee tail stripe on his Challenger is coded in T6 Tan the same as my M46 Barracuda Bart :2thumbs:
