Marty's 73 Project

I'm more of a lurker, but do pop in with a question now and then. You guys have been great and always there when I got stumped. Which, since this is my first Mopar restoration (grew up on Mustangs and TransAm's

Just wanted to share where I started and where I am. Currently searching for someone in the Charlotte NC/Rock Hill SC area that is willing to align the panels better and throw some color on her

Day I got her

What she looks like now

The whole collage attached - lots more pictures. But it's been 2008 to today. Actively looking for someone to put some paint on her. If anyone knows of someone in the Rock Hill SC/Charlotte NC area.

All the places I've contacted won't paint over someone else's body work. So I'm getting ready to do it myself but would prefer not too

Nice work! It's gonna look awesome when you get it all done and painted!

Good luck finding someone. Liability is paramount.

Finally found someone to paint the car! And as an added bonus I found my fender tag I lost a couple years ago!

Great news.

Looks like you come a long way already, fresh paint will really get the ball rolling..

Car is looking great! Nice work!

What color are you going with?

Marty73 · November 16, 2020, 09:51:39 AM

Something very similar to pearl blue 3

Painter has made a lot of progress - but one big set back

Over the weekend someone got into their shop and stole a bunch of tool and auto parts laying around. Which, sadly, included my header panel (that took me three months to find, cost a buttload, and was in great shape..DAMNIT!). Good new is the thief has been arrested, bad news is no word on the stuff he stole. Both I and the painter are hoping it gets returned. Otherwise he gets to find me a new one. So if anyone sees a header panel for sale on eBay from Charlotte NC - please let me know, it might be my stolen one being sold.

Anyway - here some status pictures
