Sassy roadrunner

Ok figured it was time to post some progress of my mopar. I striped the car completely and then boxed up all the parts as I have moved house but in the meantime the car has been off to the body shop and now looks 1000 times better than she used to. Will be getting the car back around Christmas hopefully and will be freshly painted. After that I will get the decals and vinyl roof done. I'll post some pics, hope you enjoy

Top pic is showing the rust through the floor which has since been cut out and a plate welded in and the other two showing the body after returning from the blasters. The last pianos of when it was getting sent off to the body shop.

These pics are taken about 5-6 weeks later. Progress has been great and car is now in epoxy and the gaps were all being measured and adjusted when photo was taken. Repairs done include: new left rocker panel, lower rear quarters, new radiator support, trunk lid rust cut out and repaired, floor repaired, 4 speed tunnel hump, torque boxes, left inner fender and soon to be subframe connectors added. Then there was general rust removal and panel beating on the rear quarters and front fenders plus rust aroundwind shield repaired. Pretty sure that was all but I may have left out a few things.
Been great so far seeing the progress and can't wait for paint soon!

Update!
Finally got the car back from the body shop after 5 long months and it's all painted and shiny. Had the canopy top put on just before it came back and it looks amazing and I am super happy to finally have the car back. The vinyl top trim is not correct but due to the amount of rust on it the texture was gone so made the decision to go with a gloss black which looks good enough.
Hope you like it cause I certainly do!!!

Yeah going with the stripes and they were supposed to go on with the roof but the decals were too old and crappy so wasn't worth wasting the time.
Thanks for the compliments and the 5 months was mainly due to Christmas and New Years break but very glad to have it back.
Next is all the suspension and driveline when I get the money haha.

Sassy Green is one of my favorite colors and yours looks awesome on the car. No complaints from me.
