Looking good Jim. That's some nice work you're doing there, and it looks like she's half saved already.

 

[Jims71duster]

[Guitar Jones]

That's a lot of work. Is it a 340 car?

 

[Jims71duster]

I t was born a /6 then was a 1/4mile car with a 340 for 8 years, or so the story goes (but it never had frame connectors or torque boxes). My brother in law bought it without the 340 and put a 383 in it then gave up on it cause of the rust,,,,,enter,,me lol. but it does have the 8 3/4 sure grip with disc brakes up front and big bolt pattern in the back as well.

[moparsegura]

that's an awesome color choice!! What color is it???? I love it!!

 

[Small Block]

You are merely supporting my theory. A car has to be really far gone bad before it can't be brought back. I tell everyone that comes to the "Field " that i can redo anything out there. That's when they look at me like they think i'm a miracle worker. Great job and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

jim, what color is that? i was thinking about a similar color for my project dart

its 2006-2008 chrysler burnt orange,,I can get the exact code off the can if you want. Its a base coat, clear coat. Its also my first shot at painting a car soooo,,,,,,hope it works out. I got 5 coats of clear on it now to shine up so it should get better. Under that I have 2 coats of high build primer and under that there is two coats of self etching primer

 

[Marko]

Looks awesome Jim makes me envy all you with heated garages...Im stuck till it warms up! And I love the color..I'd love to see that # for the color code...Maybe a few more shots of it ....I'd love that with a black hood *Drool*
