    Found a set of rubber bumpers (Finally) and dropped the rear off at the shop. Front bumper is still with me. Turns out one of my brackets was bent, so I got another and will trial fit the bracket today. Here are some pics of them and the car. Not much progress since they were finishing another car for the last week or two. Did get the side scoops fitted.

    Visited the car in paint prison today. Coming along quite well. They think they will have the outer body in primer by the end of the week.

    More progress. They started painting on Thursday. Should be painting a lot more this week. Here are a few pics. The underneath is painted along with the engine compartment and the front wheel wells.

    I agree!  Those are awesome.   :2thumbs:  What color is that?  At first glance I thought it was sublime green, but then it's got more metallic in it.

    Keith will have to tell you, but it is not an original Mopar High-Impact color :stirpot:

    What it is, is freakin' awesome ... looking forward to seeing that bad-boy in person! :2thumbs:

    so the color was partially left to the body shop. I said I wanted it the snakeskin green on new Challengers or the synergy Green on new GM or the 69 dodge spring green. All of the colors are so close to each other, I just told them to pick the brightest one. Not really sure which one they chose, but I like it  :thumbsup:
