First stage is finished, on to body work!

[mopardog]

After facing several challenges.......the complete front and rear suspension on my '72 Road Runner resto is done! I have learned several lessons during this phase. The most important lessons learned is PATIENCE and....make sure car is strapped down tight to trailer before moving it around yard. Otherwise you create more work for yourself! ARGH! Oh well, was gonna replace radiator support anyway.

That being said, I believe I have collected all the necessary replacement sheet metal to replace my trouble areas and now intend to start smoothing out the body.

A huge "Thank You" to everyone here who has helped me thus far. If I can return the favor please, let me know. I will be getting some progress pics this weekend and will try to get them posted up.

question on paint. Were metallic paints colors common? I decoded my tag because I wanted to get original color and it decodes out as GF7- Dark Green Metallic (Dodge)/Sherwood Green Metallic (Plymouth)I believe. The closest I can find on the PPG color chips is Dark\Sherwood Green Poly. Is this the same? Forgive my ignorance, but I just want to make sure I get it right. I polished up the paint on rear quarters and it really is pretty and you can just see the metallic in paint.
