Cost of body work (photos added)

Im sorry, but I have to laugh at those photos!!!!  Please don't tell me your NOT driving that beautiful car because of those things you see as, 'flaws'   

I can NOW see why people see my car as, 'JUNK' when they see it in face to face time.  You would have a heart attack if you saw my car in person if you think those pics are considered, 'horrible' and you need a, 'touch' up 

Just drive it and enjoy the snot out of it......

Oh no ..no one said anything about not driving it i do a few times a week. But i do want to fix a few spots before they get out of control it is garage keep so i have some time but if you dont take care of it ,it will only get worst and cost more later.

What I am misunderstanding is , taking the vinyl off to repair what is underneath , or taking it off to NOT have a vinyl top car (paint the roof)?
If taking of to paint , there's your 24-30 hours right there :
1. Take off front/rear window trim/drip rail moldings.(carefull,don't bend them up!)
2. Take out front/rear windows (that's if you want to do it right,carefull , don't break the back glass or windshield ,  extra $$$$$ !!)
3. Interior headliner sail panels to get the nuts that hold on the Charger script.
4. Now as it was a vinyl top it has " putty" not lead like the hardtop cars. So dig that out , and bodywork the sail panels smooth.
5. Bunch of hours cleaning off the glue , PIA and messy !!!!
6. What dents/rust/waves you gonna find lurking under there , you will !!!!!
7. Weld up the vinyl top holes/ bodywork smoothing out those areas.
8. Now you can start fixing what you were talking about !!!!
9. With all that you described , I wouldn't think anything less than a full paint job at that point !!!!
10. So , off with the bumpers , trim , door handles , grill , etc , etc , etc, etc !!!

   $7-10k sounds awefull good !!!!! By that , I mean cheap !!!!!!
 

I'm taking to top off to paint it i don't want a vinyl top on it. At the moment it dose not appear to have rust under it and did not when the currant restoration was done a little while back. But that is the one factor that could make the price go towards the 10 grand mark if some was found.
