Here are a few more pics of the progress on the GREEN GTX. I took these last Wednesday, after a little more body work and priming the trunk lid area.

This area was eaten-up pretty bad by rust! Tony ground it all out,and patched it up with new metal....looks pretty good!

Looks great.............. I`m scared to paint mine up like some of you guys do because of the idiot drivers on the road.

Thanks,fella's! Doug..my fingers are back to normal,no sanding since last Tuesday! Kevin...NO concours show poodle for me! Can't wait to see the GREEN machines side-by-side! Dom...I agree,LOTS of idiots on the roads,but...this ole' car REALLY needed some sprucing-up! And Randy...YES,it will be done in the factory,organosol...flat black,with the aluminum trim running along the side of the car,like before! God forbid I turn it into a Road Runner...which it gets called by TOO MANY non-Mopar people!!!

Pete..no tubs! I run a P295-65R15 tire on a 8" rim. My slicks are 9"x29"..but have to sell them and go back to a 30" tire to bring down the revs in the traps! 67-6800rpm is a little higher than I'd like to go. With 30's I would trap at 64-6500rpm. Just got back from your neck of the woods today..spent the last 3 days in Manistique,hare hunting! LOTS of bunnies! Randy

Randy, are you going to repaint the hood Green also? When I redo mine, and when I paint the RoadRunner the hood is going to be body color.
