I agree, whether the colour is "bang on" or not, it looks fantastic  :drooling:

The white needs to be sprayed on the doors, rear panels and A-pillar/windsheild trim.  Then cut/buff...then home!  :banana:

Looks great!  :clapping: Think you will be driving it this summer?

Burdar

That was the plan but it took more money than I was hoping.  Assembly won't take long but I don't have the money for wheels.  It will have to sit for awhile longer unfortunately.

Seven months or so for a turn around on the paint job ? That's pretty respectable  :worship: Looks fantastic...

Bummer, maybe something temporary/cheap will pop up near you.  :fingerscrossed:

The white paint on the doors, rear panels and A-pillar/windshield trim was sprayed yesterday.  The metal upper corner pieces on the windshield needed a little filler work after some big dents were straightened out.  When the factory welded the A-pillars to the upper windshield support, they left the welds big and messy.  When the corner pieces were installed, they touched the welds and were dented as they were being screwed down.  I ground off those excess welds so that shouldn't happen again.

Beautiful.  Color is really nice.

@dodj Thanks bud.  I bought those years ago from Vans Auto at the Mopar Nats to save shipping costs.  That year I was carrying around $1000 in parts and they all fit in a plastic bag.  Remind me why I got into this hobby?  Thanks for thinking of me though. :bigthumb:

The bodyshop owner went to the Barret Jackson auction for a couple weeks last month.  They are sanding/buffing the paint now.  Should be done at the end of the week.

Looking good!   :clapping: :worship:  Can't wait to see it back together.  :bigthumb:

I deleted the Youtube video I made before.  It was made from really low quality video that was sent to my cell phone.  I made a new one from higher resolution videos the body shop posted to their Facebook account.

The car is done.  Probably going to let it sit a couple weeks before being delivered.  Not sure if going from a heated shop to a freezing cold garage will do anything to brand new paint.
