Looks great. No shortage of cement work area.

Sweet!

  Surprised your neighborhood doesn't get pissed when you are blasting in your driveway. 

Are you going to go back to the original color?

Still dying to know what the fender tag readout is.

Cool, original color.
Like the idea of blacking out the shaker hood.  That will look great!

bare minimum?   Is it a 198 /6 ?

You're doing really good.
What a pain it is hanging quarters.
I don't envy you right now what you're going thru.

On the plus side: The quarter panels are much better now than when they first came out.
They were off everywhere.

Thanks topcat the only line that is slightly off is the lower one by a smidge  just above the rocker but you right I bought some good ark skins for my challenger and they fit like garbage it was so disappointing love these AMD parts they still require some massaging but that what we have to deal with.

I'd love to see the vin too. I have a duplicate of yours (/6, 3spd, B5/Blue) except I have a radio, very minimal tag. the build sheet I found is for another B5 a few hundred off my sequence (mine is BH23C0E100322, the one I found is for 100677)
