WOOHOO GUIDECOAT!!!! LOL ahhh how I miss the days when I worked in the rod shop and had no skin on my fingertips after sanding the guidecoat off with 80 grit on a paint stick. Looks great :thumbup:

Nice work man....wow! Love that butt-joined quarter panel replacement, what a lot of work that must be.

The work i saw in the last three pages is just beautiful, You are going to have a very nice ride when it's "finished". Should last a long, long time. congrats. Also I think that you showing up to help out as much as you can is just great. Maybe them seeing you helping out so much is motivating them to do such a great job!!

Thanks for all the encouragement guys!

Since the car will be home within the next couple of weeks I hauled the interior out to steam clean the seats and carpet.... looks pretty good after 32+ years!

I'm really starting to like your paint color. Is it a metalic and what year and code is it?

H22A4 Your painting skills are showing up nicely too.

looks fantastic. good mask work, better than most paint shops.

H22A4 · Apr 14, 2007

Thanks for all the feedback. Gotta give credit to the body shop since their head painter is doing the paint work.

In most of the pics, the paint looks quite light, however, it is quite a dark brown without the camera flash. It's Cinnamon Poly (PPG paint code 2741 or Chrysler code T4) offered on Plymouth and Dodge's in '75 and '76.
