Newbie with a 69' GTX

[GTXtreme]

im new to this forum but not that new to mopars. i bought it almost 10 years ago, it was my first car and i never plan on getting rid of it. i had no real experience with cars until i started restoring it about 4 years ago. A friend of mine who has been working with mopars for years had been guiding and assisting me through out the build. here is my progress so far:

the door handles,locks and antenna was shaved along with the plymouth and gtx emblems on the truck lid. i had striped,sanded the underbelly of the beast already.

i filled in most of the unneeded holes in the engine compartmet, we welded in a plate on the fire wall to hide where the holes were for the heater hoses and the ac would come through. the bulkhead connector was filled in and the shock towers seam sealed.

oh thanx, i had no idea that you guys could view the whole album so i was wondering about that. the charger isnt mine its a friends whos helping me with the resto its 70 charger r/t with a 485 stroker hemi with a keisler 5spd, that car is beautiful. and thanx for the compliment ive been getting kinda discouraged becouse everything keep going wrong with this car. i attempted to paint it last fall and the body supply shop gave me the wrong primer and it reacted to the paint by lifting and cracking on the edges. i havent really touched the car since but the warmer weather is coming so i'll have another shot at it again
