Holy crap that's nice.. I have a question, you know how you hang the front valance like that with the wires.  How do you keep it from damaging the paint or do you just fix it with touch up?  Reason I ask is cause I hang out at a body shop and they do the same thing and I don't like what it does to a newly painted panel, or it just doesn't even get painted under the wire.  Just curious to know if anyone has a fix, so I can tell them. I might be running this body shop(managing, admin, paperwork, etc...) in 3 months if I can afford the paycut, and Quality Assurance is my goal for them. They lack a little sometimes and I'm an anal freakshow sometimes.  No comebacks means more time to work on new stuff if you know what I mean. 

Thanks

Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

I just bought me a 69 charger black exterior and red interior orig.  What a sweet color combo.  Mines got to through a ground up restoration.  Keep us updated would really love to see how it turns out.

It is impressive. So what paint brand and type are you using? Is this going to be a base coat clear coat or something else?
I am thinking triple black for my 68 is why I was asking. Thanks. :cheers:
