Just wanted to tell everyone that I stopped at Paul's today and saw the car. Looks even better in person. What a boost to the "Mopar Fire within", as Ken would say. Hopefully Paul can get her going by summer. I know he wants too. I am thinking Katy wants it done too. Not only so she can drive it, but also so she can get in the garage. It's kinda stuffed with Chargers right now. :icon_smile_big:

I am psyched and it ain't even my car. Again, great job Paul. :2thumbs:

Hey Thunder as good as the first pics were, isn't it something how it looks so much better at home, that car is sharp in your garage, lol.
Can't wait to see the finished pics........  Pics like that keep all us guys in the middle of a resto going.
Take it easy,

Hey Paul, looks great - sharp and awesome color!!  :drool5: :2thumbs: Did you install the glass before the roof liner?.....the liner installer is going to love you!! :nana: I was told by an interior installer not to put the glass (front & back windshield) in until the liner is in.....hmmm, wait a second, did you have the glass off anyway while you had the car painted?  :scratchchin:

Can't wait to get mine home! Still not ready!! :icon_smile_sad:
