72 RR tickled pink in progress

[mopartoys]

Hi All,
Thought I would throw out some photos of a 72 RR currently getting a face lift. This one is built for pure smiles per gallon fun! Missing some parts but taking it day by day......

i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that color!!!!!!!!

 

[mopartoys]

A few things to note.
Pretty much everything without a rubber seal attached to it is being powder coated.
440 4bbl motor fresh built
I am adding a few interior shots, the interior is almost complete.
I am struggling with what kind of stripes to have out the bulged hood over fenders. I was not impressed with the factory ones. It will have the strobe stripe over roof. I am pondering stripes over the fender
similar to the new Dodge Callengers. They look like indian war paint cheek stripes.

love the pink,they always stand out.did you have someone do the bird in the backseat?

 

[tpodwdog]

HURRY UP ..... i cant wait to see it all finished!

 

[Ron 73]

Thats a beauty!! Love those seats man, cant wait to see this in all its glory!

 

[mopartoys]

Thank you.. The bird is computer stitched into the back seat. Embroidery was done by Embro. They did a great job on it.

 

[Ron 73]

I never heard of "Embro" but i do like there work, i agree they did do a great job! Expensive? Those seats even look comfortable..

 

[mopartoys]

Yes, it was kinda expensive. $225, but I thought it would be a nice touch. The seats are very plush. They are chrysler seats. They do have head rests, but the holes were not cut in the cloth for the poles yet, and after getting the upholstery on and seeing them without the head rests, I kinda liked it. I can always add them later. They are in the charcoal color like the middle of the back seat. I thought about putting a smaller standing bird on the sides of the head rests so you could see it from outside the car. Still tossing around a lot of ideas. I do not want to clutter the car up either. I would certainly entertain anyones ideas. Still time to change the out come.

Really like the seats. I have to choose between originals or a set of Cordoba seats for my ride. It's a tough choice. Looking at yours, I may choose the ones from the Cordoba. Your color is pretty wild. HC

Indian war paint cheek stripes...LOL. Interesting way to put it. She's looking good. I agree...paint choice looks great on that car
