A chance to do some work today- I stripped the rest of the door panel hardware, rear quarter inner panel and hardware, rear window trim and rear window. Chrysler REALLY didn't want that rear window to leak, I have never seen so much sealer before. Interesting to note that the vinyl top was stapled in place in spots! Unreal. Also of interest was the crayon marks for the trim clips, the actual holes were all over the board though.

More work today- The boys cleaned the bumpers and I painted the backsides with Rustolium Restore and Duplicolor Chrome paint to duplicate the factory look.
Drilled all the rivets out for the side trim, welded up the holes and ground them down. Ground down the vinyl top trim screws. Removed the "sidewings" of the headliner off the C-pillar. removed all the plugs in the floor. Did some welding in the drivers door latch area. Pulled the stainless trim that holds the window gasket in place on the roofline.

Did a little work yesterday- Stripped the brake lines, master cylinder and prop valve from engine bay, pulled the ps pump and looped the return line to the pressure port, pressure washed the bay twice, removed some odds and ends from the firewall area.
Welded and ground down the trim holes on the passenger side of the car, welded up some holes around the back window. Wire wheeled the passenger side floor and coated both sides with POR-15 for good measure along with part of the firewall. Tested fitted the 4-speed hump and marked out on the floor what is to be removed.
Boys and I busy today- Wire wheeled the fenderwells, fenders and inner covers, prepped and coated with POR-15. Welded up where someone had run speaker wires to the door, welded up extra hole for mirror. Pulled rocker panel trim off and attaching clips, pulled of pentastar from fender.

Where I was leaning towards as well... but (you know that was coming!) my GTX is slated to get painted that color (verified as being the original color) so I am inclined to pick B7 to avoid having two cars the same hue. I'll give it some more thought, but my buddy is painting his Challenger B5 as well.
