Hood is painted, Steve just called the rig (ut O, double secret weekend rate=$$$ but getting it done =  :2thumbs:)...anyone want to see the pics?  He says it looks pretty good, but he may be a bit biased since he sprayed it...they are gonna sand it so the purple/black edge is not felt, then clearcoat the hood again.

Got wheels coming (Police Wheels)...

Should be a fun time home assembling !

jaak got the wheels new from Jegs (Summit ordering online sucks...) went 15x8 w 4" BS 
I think the Black Wheels will set off the Hood and trunk w/ the Black Spoiler.

Re pics for assembly... Josh and I would be glad to help out. Just let us know what pics you need and either Josh or I can snap pics for you. BTW, that black hood really does look nice and I bet it will realy look sharp when she finally makes it outside for some pics.

My advice
Use the pins !!!
the last thing you want is a 35 year old hood latch giving up on you
Trus me, it would not be pretty

Jim, the paint looks awesome ! I'm really liking the bulge hood with the callouts and blackout treatment.  :bow:

That's going to be one sharp & quick car once you're done.  :2thumbs:

I hope to see it and meet you some day.  :cheers:

Thanks Ron! Hope to met you and some others on the forum as well, Once finished I hope to travel and attend some Mopar events on my off time. 

Mike should be getting some more pics in a couple of days, looking forward to seeing the Rear Suspension in, and the car overall (including the rear spoiler).  :icon_smile_big:

Thanks Moparsons!

Talked with Steve at the shop this morning, They are doing the Black on the trunk lid (rear lip) today and will have that clear coated tomorrow. Similiar to Bannna's Wana's (his yellow one photoshopped below)



Should have Shop Pics of the Hood/front clip uncovered tonite w/ the callouts in place. He says he is really pleased with how the front came out with the Gloss Black and the callouts against the Plum Crazy Purple.

Tommorrow night pics of the trunk area with the Spoiler in place.  

Weekend project is going to be installing the rear Suspension.

Looking on track for me picking up 23rd.

Just called the shop.

Had some issues on the clear with the doors, they are sanding and will reshoot the clear on the doors.  Clear should be done this week.  This weekend Steve will be putting the rear suspension in.  Should have new pics Monday of the car overall finished and w/ Suspension in. Discussed the rear trunk lid and Steve says that w/ the clear the trunk lid looks great, and I will like the look when I see it in person.  On track for a Friday Oct 23 pick up.
