Wow I just found this thread and looked over all 13 pages of progress.  Turning out to be a major project and looking very nice Jackie  :cooldancing:  Sounds like you're having fun too!  Congrats on the rebuild.

I think this thread has finalized my decision to put my 71 challenger vert back to its original green color. It's looking great Jackie!

Hey Jackie,  :wave:

The grille and bezels were all done until I had this little whoopsie. Don’t worry, my duct tape matches pretty well and it should blend right in. A quick repair and it will be fine.

Hey Shawn and Bart,  :wave:

Yes, I know I was taking my life in my hands with that last post! It always sucks looking down the wrong end of a 380.  :roflsmiley:

Ok, I did send a picture to Jackie after the dark argent was shot and peeled a bit of the masking away. She still hasn’t seen it completed and we agreed that she would wait to see it in person.

Until then, I would wait until releasing any pictures. I was just having some fun folks, that’s all. I do have to say that I have done a bunch of R/t Challenger 71 grilles and bezels over time, All of them have been, including this one, a masking nightmare only because I didn’t want to drill out the original ornament rivets and wanted the backs to looks like the original molded black plastic.

This is the first time I ever asked to do a tri-colored 71 Challenger grille an bezels.
Oh Lord, masking and aligning those black triangle points above and below to meet the low and high beam openings was the fun part. :bricks1: After you get one looking right, you get to do it again! More  :bricks1:  :roflsmiley:

I actually like this subtle look more than the R/t’s (Sorry folks). Anna and Eric said the very same thing.

We all look forward to seeing you Jackie, and you too, Shelby!

Here’s a sneak preview...
