Both ha ha!!

Hi all, thanks for the kind words . Here are some more pics , Dave and I are still waiting for the car to get polished ,I can't wait to see it with the white stripe .

Super-job! Is there some kind of purpose with having the car standing outside? (or is it just temporarily/saving space in the garage?)

Great looking job on a sweet ride. The hubcaps are the same as my conv. is coded for. I have a set and am looking for the rims to mount the hubcaps back on the car. I can not believe how hard it is to find 14"x6" steel wheels. I have never seen another car with those caps on the road. It would be cool to see our purple/white cars side by side with the same caps. Maybe at the Mopar Nats? I am planning on attending.

Anxious to see more pics.
Bob

That looks the dogs bits

My Buddy Dave, that I'm in partners on the car with had never seen it in the sun . Thanks for The coments on car. I think that were going to the Nats but not with the car ,Mopars at Carlisle want the car for a Challenger only display with the new Challenger.So if your going to Carlisle let me known . Thanks Steve.

whats the colour????????/

whats the color?????????

The car is FC7(plum Crazy Purple) with an EW1(white) painted roof. The car car also rolled off the line with a white interior and white long R/T stripe. In the outside photos the car appears to be on the blue side but if you look at one of Steve's pevious posts there is an underside shot that shows the true purple!

Thanks for all the thumbs up!

Dave M.

After Polishing!!!

I'm drooling.

Me too...

Some more progress!!!

Hi all ,
here are some of the most resent pics from the weekend.The car needs to be ready for Carlisle in a few weeks ,look for it it your going, I think it's going to be in the T building.
Thanks.

sweet I love those hubcaps. Did you restore the hubcaps? Do you know of anyone who redtores hubcaps? I have a set that need to be redone. Still looking for my 14x6 steel rims.
Keep up the excellent work.
Bob

That is SUCH good work.

Unbelievable Craftsmanship! Will it be driven?

Have you asked Frank Long who does it Bob? If not I'll ask around if you are intersted in finding someone. Too Bad Jack T. isnt around much anymore, I'm sure he would know of such a person who does it with similar pro-results.

Thanks Guys ,
the hubcaps are NOS . Were not sure if will get a chance to drive it before the show , but I always like to put a few miles on them to work the bugs out . Thanks .

Eddie, Frank sounds like a good start. i have bought rims off of him and he is a nice guy. If you do ask around that would also be great.

71pacecar, do you have a source for 4 more of those hubcaps if I can not restore mine?
