That looks terrific!

I really like the blue. If mine wasn't green, that would have been my next choice.

Can't wait to see it all back together. :yesnod: :cheers:

I looked over that car when I picked up the doors to my 68.  It looked great, I hope to see it when completed.  I plan to have the same shop work on mine since my last body man screwed my over.  My car is in worse shape then when I left it with him.

Paint the wells body color then undercoat them. I think that's what he did. I just did the same.

The factory did undercoat the wheel wells only, Unless you paid extra for the J55 Option. Then the entire undercarriage got under coated, Like this 69 Road Runner I just restored. LEON.

That looks GREAT. Sorry to hear about the problems with the guy that painted it before. I hate to hear of him doing business that way.

I am really looking forward to seeing that thing finished.

As eluded to just moments ago, I duplicated as close as possible the pattern that was originally sprayed. I referenced pics from my collection prior to disassembly....

    That's how you do it, the detail under the Charger is sweet, that extra effort counts.  :2thumbs:

Well, she's home safe and secure.. No chips or scratches in the process........   :2thumbs:

Thanks to Scott and Charles for helping me get her home... The LL1 Road Runner is Charles'.. We repainted his dash frame and keep the car here in my garage while mine was in the shop...

Cool. I bet that new garage is looking sweet. Are you planning on spraying the radiator support black?
