Looking good Randy. Good to see you went with the original color. I'm not a purist, just like seeing other colors then black and red.

Jeff

I will order you some mirrors to put under it for the car show,,,,

going to be too nice to RACE.....

The engine bay looks great buddy ! I'm sure the rest of the car will look outstanding

Have a Sleemans to celebrate !



Ron

Thanks,Dom..Lew! Zippy!...if/when you decide to re-do the X,I have just the guy to do it! Jeff..I was VERY close to getting it painted a darker shade of RED...but,like you said....don't really see too many green GTX's out there! Doug...under-carriage resto will have to wait...hold the purchase on those mirrors for a while! Or...maybe you can purchase them and break them in for me!....got a good ceiling surface to attach them to?

Thanks,good buddy! Raff and I celebrated yesterday at his shop..couple of Bradors..and a couple of Labatt Blue's! Still enjoying that excellent Canadian beer you so graciously donated to your Yankee pals! I had a hard time in the past with people getting close...and even LEANING on the car,at a car cruise!....don't know how I'm going to react with a fresh paint job??? Hope I can keep my cool!

Looks GOOD Randy,can't wait to see it when it's done,keep the pics coming.

Sure thing,Eddie!

Lookin good Randy,
2012 will have a couple B-bodies with fresh paint hangin out. You'll be a little edgey after its painted but after the first chip or scratch you'll mellow out after.LOL

Ease up on those Bradors! We'll resupply ya again in the new year.

looking good Randy, one of the nicest cars on here and i'm sure, soon to be a 10 sec one.
Have a nice new year
Mick

Thanks,Kevin....Mick! Yeah,Mick...10's SHOULD definately be attainable next season,with those "high-flowing" Eddy's from MCH! Kevin..I'll probably be as nervous as a h**ker attending Mass! Don't even want to think about ANY scratches! But,that would be living in a FANTASY WORLD!...gonna happen sooner or later!...hopefully MUCH later! Thanks again for your limitless generosity! The Canadian beer is AWESOME!!! Hope you have a GREAT NEW YEAR! Green will RULE in 2012!

Lookin' good!!

I'm sooooo glad you chose to go with the factory colour!

I just sprayed my lower motor compartment to my 69 RR, after 10 years of sitting. It was a blast! In more ways than you'd figure. I dig painting. The spring clamp on the m/c has little to zero pressure on the m/c lid. It lifted all the paint from there on down. Pulled the reinformencement plate as others mentioned. It's kind of a pain to get at the nuts from inside with the dash in there. Had to use a variety of extensions to get just the right length.

Now, the big task is finding all the pieces to the Mopar puzzle after emptying out my garage several times. Hoping to have her together this summer but 55 hr work weeks don't help. Got all the suspension pieces and K-member blasted and painted already, been on once to make it into a roller last summer. Can't seem to find that package of T-bar seals anywhere.

Post more pic's as you go.

Thanks,Dean! Yeah..EVERYONE knows the GREEN GTX belongs to Lab Ratt! This F-5 appears a little darker than most F-5's I've ever seen...which is OK by me! I REALLY like it! Best of Luck with your RR project!
