If he scratches it, he'll be repainting it before I take it back!

Wow on the progress.
Color would never be my choice but is actually
 spot on gorgeous.
Life is to be viewed thru the windshield. Not rear view mirror.

Yup...I never would have chose that colour, but I'm really liking it. A one of one T/A convertible with a one of one colour.

Started building the 340 today.  Machine shop thought it was going in a 73 so the painted it blue.  I'll repaint it the correct orange.

I think that's an absolutely beautiful car!  :bravo:

It's posts like yours that keep me revved up for when my car is out of the paint/body shop and it's my turn to start with the reassembly.
Should be able to start on the motor rebuild by the 3rd week of April and hopefully have my car back from body/paint by the end of July to mid August.

It's the Mopar Body cart from Auto Twirler.  You can get it from them, Summit, etc.
