I am super lucky that I started with a rust free car - I couldnt even imagine dealing with the level of rust you guys are... Crazy !!!
Basically my car just needed a couple guide coats and its ready for paint. The car is rolling on 4 casters now, so I'll get a couple more current pics posted soon.

Well, that is certainly one of the nicest I've seen from the pics. What was the trunk like? So there was NO rust? not even a spec on the lower fenders, trunk floor, hood hinge mount, rear quarters behind the wheels, rear window channel?  
I wouldn't paint the inside of the car; too cool the way it is!

AHA! then I was right; no such thing as a 100% rust free Mopar!
J/K, that is one heck of a car.....doesn't even look like the engine compartment needs paint.. 
Having a car like that to start with must be a huge treat!

actually if someone didnt squirt black on it back in the 80's, I really could have almost cleaned the engine compartment, maybe used a little rubbing compound and called it a day,,,

original carpet - this will go back in as well, just needs a good cleaning. The fade should be covered by the console. I even found $.60 under under it and both the coins and the build date of 1970 match. Thanks assy line guys for contributing to the restore !!

Now that was a GREAT car to start with! Much better than having a made in Tawain patchwork quilt!
And DaveP, my old FK5 'Cuda was as clean as this Challenger, but it had a little lower window corner rust too under the gator top 
How is this for a trunk floor? (see, they're not all rust buckets  )

Why a treat! Those guys out there are used to those rust free cars. Now to us guys in the North, that would be a REAL TREAT!!!!!!!!!
Great car, keep posting pics!!
Here's one, extremely rust free for where it's been its whole life! Then again it only has 35k miles and hasn't been on the road since '77!!!!!! Original FE5, red shaker, 440-6, 4spd/console, 3.54 dana, ralley dash, completely #'s matching, mint B/S, original belts/hoses. Two color changes, then a third change started (newspapers taped over the rear bumper dated July 3rd and 4th 1983!) by the only titled original owner, who sold it in '85.
