My plan is currently to have all the metal work completed on the car and have the engine bay, underside, door jams, and trunk painted factory Plymouth Ralley Green. Then take the car back home and install brake lines, fuel lines, gas tank, and install the new / rebuilt front and rear suspension. Once its a roller again, then it will go back to the shop for the final body work and paint job. Any thoughts about my plans? Suggestions are appreciated.

I had a Rallye Green Road Runner that was painted the way you are suggesting. This green is a tough color to match. I was never happy with the match of the body to the underhood, inside trunk, etc.. It was slightly off. You may be a lot happier getting the body painted all at once, including fenders, doors, etc.. I am not a body man or painter, so my suggestion is just based on the results of one of my cars.
