Awesome Rob! Now the fun begins and you'll actually see some progress. Good Luck, man. I'm all the way over on the east coast, but I have been where you are now and I have been following your build for a long time and if I can help, just drop me a line. Check my thread out and maybe some of my mistakes will save you some heart ache.

Ha. Thanks Guy. I have to call the Vinyl top guy. Does he do headliners too?

You have to ask him, but he is mobile so should not be a problem.
Maybe ask about a two for one discount?

Good to see the car out of the paint penitentiary.
What do you think the time frame is to get up and running?

Does anyone know what is correct from the front of the radiator support behind the grill, black or body color?

Factory correct is Body Color.

Thank you. What would you do black or body color? Doesn't it look funny through the grill if it is white?

I always thought factory was black.

That is what I thought.

It should be a semi flat black. Shot at an upwards angle (guy was in a pit), stops at core support. There should be some good M code GTS restorations out there to copy their pattern.

definitely flat blacked out. Dodge did not want to see the color behind the grille. no real pattern,
just sprayed until the color was gone.
