Lookin good, ya wanna come out to California for a while once the fires go out:lol:

I lack the skill and the patience for bodywork, mostly the skill...
 
First 2 coats of 2K filler primer today. Who's coming to help block this thing?? I feel there is about 5 spots that need a little more attention but, overall this thing looks pretty good. With any luck color will be going on in about a week...ish...lol

Blocked most of the car today. Found some small areas that needed a little work but, overall this should be ready for its last round of primer hopefully this week. Maybe paint the week after.

I love your car. There was one parked in a driveway unregistered in 1983, same year and color combination and I would drool over it on my way too school. It was the car that started my love of Dusters
Thank you!!
 
Car is wet sanded and should be painting jambs and in the trunk today hopefully.

Got the rest of the body wet sanded and buffed today, put on emblems, grille and, door locks. It supposed to warm up a little here this week so I will paint the hood and front valance. I hope to have the stripe on and possibly all my part finished by the weekend. When I'm done it goes to my buddies house where the motor and transmission will be put in. The owner stopped by today and he is extremely happy with how the car looks....its the first time he has seen it since it has been painted so, that's good I'm glad he is happy.

I like silver on the Dart. I’m daydreaming And planning my 70 right now and I’m thinking a “high impact” color or silver.

I would of went with a brighter silver. I'm not a huge fan of A4 silver but, its what he wanted. Its going to have a black rump stripe but, my buddies and I think red or burgundy might have looked better.

I dig a deep maroon color too. I think that silver with a vinyl top and back stripe would be gorgeous! You do great work. Hopefully mine will look something similar within the next decade or so, haha.
