It's been a while since I've had time to surf the site. First Thread I look at and all i can say is "NICE" !!!!!

Love the Satin Charcoal - can you get me the Paint Code of the Powder

No problem Marty.
I have another batch going to my coater next week for a different project.
I will get the info then.
ps.... any coater should be able to match a paint color with powder. I was amazed at the way powder technology has advanced over the last few years.
He tried talking me into a candy color early on, but I knew this project was going for a more factory / restomod look.

Body work in progress. The rear wheel wells have been massaged and filled as well as the firewall. We're doing one panel at a time so not to miss any details. Still a long way, but making progress.

I saved the rear window channel that was rotted out. I am thinking of sending a package out west... say somewhere in Plattsmouth, NE

(just for you buddy)

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

HRBS · #67 04-26-2010, 11:27 AM

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).

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.
