Timmbuc2........ That argent silver your referring to, is the dark argent or dark astrotone you can buy from Daves Totally Auto. That's the paint that has the sparkely look to it. It's also used on the '70 Challenger SE rear finish panel. Dave will sell it to you in a reasonably priced spray can.
     Thanks,   Al
Thanks I ordered today from Dave

I didn't do my tail to,spec. And the SE panel is black since I have the BB stripe.

I,would have posted the actual,pic, but am on the iPad. Now.

Dayley/Chall........ I can see why you painted your rear finish panel black, looks good like that. The black trim against the yellow really stands out. When I restored my finish panel, I went ahead and ordered the paint from Daves Totally Auto, but 2 cans each of the light and the dark argent. But I screwed up and shot the light tone instead of the proper dark tone, Duh! So now I have to repaint with the dark tone. Made myself some extra work.
Timbbuc2....... Great you've got the paint on order, with all the work you've done to the grill already your efforts will not go unrewarded.      Thanks,   Al

IN reality, the BB stripe should not have extended to go behind the bumper, but my painter got off on the ending spot on the sides so,to make it blend I just painted it all .  I will post some better pics tomorrow, so there won't be a link to go,to.

pics.....these are from 2007

While I am waiting for the paint I went ahead and painted the black around the egg crate. Everything is taped off waiting for the paint to come maybe tomorrow

I also painted my SE trim panel black above the taillights ,rather than Argent , my choice !
You are going witht he Argent grille with a shaker hood , I woul;d have though you would go black ?
Step by step it is coming together at least , keep up the good work !!

Suspension is all done including torsion bars. Being this is my first restoration of a Mopar, I had a tough time with the rubber boots on the torsion bar. So I came up with this little trick., its a small funnel i cut to the size of the torsion bar. May be better ways but this worked for. Plan on cranking the motor for the first time next week :banana: I have to rebuild my carb.
