Okay I am not sure if i missed it - what color are you painting the car ??

[HRBS]

The car (exterior) will be painted Steel Blue off an 08 Magnum and 300c.
Its a blue/charcoal mix. The engine compartment and dash / interior metal will be satin graphite (different than the powder color).

yep that's an awesome color

I little change in plans as far as the rear end goes. Trying to keep with all things "bolt-on" or available aftermarket, TCI (Total Cost Involved)stepped up with one of their "bolt-in" rear housing assemblies. This assembly is complete to order: cut to length, proper bracketry with proper drive angle, choice of gear ratio, 31 spline center section posi. Its as close to a custom made to order rear but in a "bolt-in" package.
We have also opted for Clayton Machines Pedal assemblies. All I can say is WOW.... Stay tuned !

Continuing on the "smooth" approach:
If it has no purpose or is an eye soar.... its gone.
Thats the idea.

The cowl area is being massaged as well as areas like the trunk closeout panel and bumper filler.

Steve, I like the way your smoothing this out. wish I had done a little more in my engine compartment.

Ready for final blocking.
After blocking I will be taking it back to the shop to Raptor Line the underbody and assembly the rear suspension. I will also install the front clip and front sheetmetal before returning it to the body shop for final panel alignment / gapping. Then...... color !

This is shaping up to be a really cool project. I love your color choices.
