When I bought the car I had virtually no car skills of any sort, but I'm willing to learn and have a go and I'm enjoying working on it, so I'm going to do everything on the car myself. Plus I was on a bit of a tight budget
So...
I bought an RT bonnet from "yearone" put it on, and resprayed the whole car in HEMI orange with a black bumblebee stripe and blackout 'T' on the hood. Paints a bit ropey but its a first ever - Gonna have another go next summer maybe.
Interiors shot (Dashboard is literally like Magnum Ice cream - The moment you touch it it crackles), so its new dash (Got one from Duncan), new seat covers (71 R/T black vinyl set) new headlining, carpet door felts etc... all in black. Don't like the E-body console so I am going to fit a nice hurst shifter. To top it off I would like a tuff-style wheel.
Engine was completely stock, so I removed the aircon, bought an "airgap" style intake manifold and put a 650 holley (vac) on it, and a set of cheap headman headers. Fabricated exhaust myself (2").
I am embarrased to say that I resorted to filler on the rear quarters for now
, but they are just battered from parking lot fights, and aren't rusty, plus I knew my paints not going to be too good - It was the first respray I ever did.
Idea is to have it "respectable" and drivable, and once its on the road and with a bit more experience simply improve items one at a time. Rear quarters for example - I'am only planning to put new ones in once my welding & spraying is up to reasonable standard, otherwise its a waste of time, as I'm only going to bodge it .
I will get some more recent pics soon.
