That's true Dutch.. So you have led me to change my mind!  :bigsmile:

So tonight's foray into Challenger realm was stripping the passenger door..

Here we go.

Well, it's been a few weeks... I've painted and sanded the rear window insert and roof three times now.. Lots of invisible work. but it is getting there.. :)



That is sanded of course, and will probably shoot the roof and window area and sail panel this week... it is getting a lot slicker each  time.. But my arms are tired!

One thing I learned doing my chally is that the work seemed invisible to me, but people who only saw the car every month or so, I was making "great progress".  Keep laying into her!!  :thumbsup:

True.. :)

Here is the drivers door. It was a disaster. It had been hit hard, and drilled and pulled. I sanded all that crap out and went fresh..My gun messed up badly tonight, so I get to sand and shoot again, but hopefully that is just  added protection :clueless:.. :)



I'm also debating doing the rear panels soon and the doors, and then the fenders then the hood. Having a real hard time figuring out an angle of attack, but it's coming into focus..

dust.. I hate dust and bugs..

HATE PAINTING! But, I have to do this!
