I wish I had done more of my own prep. Painter assured me it would be fabulous, and he didn’t want to work over somebody else’s prep, and I can understand that. I also wasn’t going to pay the ridiculous quotes I was getting from the local shops, so I guess I got what I paid for. Paint looks OK actually, but I definitely would have had it a lot straighter.

Looking forward to seeing it when you get done. Are you a member of Tidewater Mopar Club?

I know Butch over at Hall. He’s been trying to get me to head over to a meeting and get linked up with you guys. Time hasn’t been my friend. I will attempt to get over to a meeting in the near future.

Looking good not long now.

Had a few issues with gaps. Had to go back and make some corrections. Getting the work done on the hood and fixing a few minor spots in the bay.

What stripe are you doing? My Vin had the RT stripe delete with KB5 Lucerne Blue. I plan to do RT stripe in white as I didn't like the single side graphic.

It’s a white full side/white rear trunk at the lights/ full vinyl top in white and a blackout hood from factory. It’s all going back.

Getting things cleaned up. Body is going in for exterior paint tomorrow. The last little fine detail things eat the time.
