Thanks. I was fortunate to visit on the day they started painting the car. I'll share pictures of the body when available.

I hope so, mine is currently covered in metal patches and different colors of steel, primer and filler, it would be an inspiration to see yours in finished form

Some progress on the paint job (I had a few pictures above - engine compartment, etc.). Could not visit so I grabbed these pictures from the shop's website. Above link shows the car with the trunk lid installed

Visited restoration shop today. Some additional progress as the engine, suspension and brakes are in the process of being installed. The car, other than the engine compartment, has not yet been wet sanded so the paint will look better.

Sorry for the view of the pictures being 90 degrees off

67 Mopar Did you modify the spare tire well? I have a 66 and I seem to remember the forward portion being rounded.

Yes I did... I also modified the gas tank to provide a little greater fuel capacity.

Mopar 67 - sounds like quite a car you are building.

Here are a few update pictures on my car, headers, dash installed plus the car post wetsanding.

Greg
Still working out the wheel choice but thinking of going with 17 inch Magnum 500s for the wheels to maintain the original look as much as possible. Realize 17 inch will look different though. Not sure about the tires. The shop owner will likely offer some choices/options to consider. He is planning on including the car in the New York Auto Show (show primarily of new cars but with a few exhibitors like the shop) and he may try to persuade me with something different, at least for the show. My goal was to keep the car original looking in appearance but with modern engine, transmission, suspension, brake and AC. With the brakes though, wheels have to be bigger.
