Work was started on the car about 3 months ago. I usually do my own work, but a neighbor of mine was out of work, so we turned the body and paint over to him. He's doing a great job so far. There was about 15lbs of bondo in this car, with plenty of rust. The previous owner had a big dog and the interior was really a mess. Our goal it to have it on the road by next fall, money permitting.

Good luck on this one, I love this body style and hope to get one some day when Im done with my Charger wich is in about the same stage as yours.
 
Hey, is that F7 green I see on the firewall? Looks strangely familiar....
 
The car is back in our garage. We did a little different treatment to the dash. The color is brighter then I thought it would be. Hoping to have it on the road this Summer.

Looks bitchin! Whats the paint brand and or code if you dont mind me askin. Its a bit brighter than MaMopar had in mind, but its killer!
 
I'll stop by my neighbors house tomorrow and get the color code and brand. When I ordered the paint, I thought I was getting the traditional Mopar color. It was a pleasant surprise after I saw the car painted. I've got all positive comments from everyone that looked at it.
