I needed some motovation to keep going and theres nothing like a little paint to do it. It's 2009 Viper orange pearl. The darker orange pics are closer to the real color. Crappy camera.

It looks like the 1/4 window was filled in to have the cut of a 72. thats all.

Nope, I didn't do anything to it that wasn't there already.  I sure do appreciate the comments ;D
Hopefully next week I can get some more painting done and maybe get it into the sunlight, hopefully the pearl shows up a little better.

I had the majority of the car sandblasted, inside, bottom, engine comp.  The doors, fenders, etc. were media blasted.  The roof I did with a da.  I'm still hopeing that AMD gets their act together soon and finally get the valanced repoped.  They keep saying 3-6 months
