This is a real deal #'s matching XS R/T Charger project I started 12 years ago....
After dealing with a couple of moves and life in general getting in the way I've got things moving in the right direction now. Having to overcome a mess the restoration shop left me with to which I flat out refuse to become another statistic of the many that just had to give up and walk away from their project.
Had to strip all the body work that was done and start from scratch. Had entirely too much mud on the car for my taste. It now has minimal filler, just enough to work out the wiggles and the waggles. I layed down some DP 90 to cover and seal the new body work. 3 coats of high build primer and another round of blocking. Everything looks good enough for sealer and move on to laying the base coat. Going with the factory SS1 Sun Fire Yellow, base coat clear coat. More elbow grease, blood, sweat and beers required....

but its hard to put toothpaste back into the tube if you know what I mean. I'm glad that I did though, the car had some cancer that would eventually need to be addressed anyways so here we are.
