Cuda SRT8 392 Gen.III Hemi

LOL, was just reading my posts from last summer and have to laugh that I thought I was going to be able to get the paint on my car back then. I've made great progress in getting my home (and most importantly the garage!) settled in and organized after my move at the end of '13. I took my wife out to dinner on New Year's Eve and when we toasted, my wife surprised me and said "here's to 2015, year of the Cuda, let's FINISH it!" She's now living in the area and home of her dreams, so I have her full support in finishing the car of my dreams.

I literally planned to start this weekend, but a couple of small things came up with the wife and the home, so I should get going on it next weekend. I waited until the last thing to take out the headliner and it's bows, but I'll do that next weekend and can also get started sealing up the seams under the car (all undercoat was removed probably 30 years ago). I'm going to seam seal the overlaps on the underside floor / trunk panels and then it's ready for some type of light undercoat (probably Upol Raptor; would love feedback on this product).

I've lined up a spray booth to shoot the car and I've narrowed down my color choices to just a few shades of blue. I've got a couple other minor things to do, but then I move on to final sanding (already has it's last coat of primer/surfacer) and it's ready to take to the booth.

Wow, the anticipation is really building for me. This is my favorite part coming up. I love painting a car and then assembling with all new, or cleaned, or painted, or plated parts. It's so nice to get to this point after all the grinding, welding, grinding, scraping, sanding, grinding, welding.......well, you get the point.

Pics of my Strange 60 and Baer brakes to come if I can figure out this Windows8 operating system. I had posting pics down pretty good with my last laptop, but this new one has the Windows8 OS and it's real difficult to navigate for posting pics. I hope to figure it out soon...
