Finally got the paint done..and rolled it out in the sun...for some shots of it's TRUE shade of green. The sun really highlights the metallic in the paint! I LIKE IT! Thanks to all you guys who insisted I keep it the factory color!..glad I did! Just for contrast,I took a couple indoor shots...before we rolled it out in the sun! Randy

maybe he changed it to white and didn't tell us.

Looks nice Randy. Maybe some of the former Naysayers will realize there is more than one way to do things.
I'm looking forward to seeing it in person. Time to start polishing that trim. And you thought your fingers hurt from sanding.

Doug..naysayers??? That's right..my painter was using the "wrong" technique to put in a patch panel! All I can say is that I'm REAL HAPPY with the finished product! Is it "perfect"???...NO!..but it's a HUGE improvement over the old paint job! As far as polishing trim...I'll be doing a little bit of that..but the majority of it is being replaced! Matt from MCB,which is just 15 minutes down the road from me,is working on supplying the pieces that I need! Thanks Matt! I truly am blessed to have friends like Mike Rafferty(P-Body) I owe him BIG TIME..for helping me transport the X to the painter's house...and for picking it up,and bringing it back home! Also,for helping to drop off the block at the machine shop..which we did both today All-in-all,it was a GREAT day for Project X..and moving forward! Thank you all for your kind words,I TRULY appreciate that! Here's a shot of the GTX in my driveway..just before we unloaded it off the trailer..which is hooked up to Mike's great-running Dodge Ram Diesel! THANKS AGAIN,MIKE!

Thanks,Keith! The engine is a .040 over stock stroke 440. This past fall,Jeff at Modern cnc'd them and milled them for more compression. Was 10:1..now,11:1. I am in the process of putting in all new bearings,and piston rings..and installing new h-beam rods,aluminum main caps,and an ARP stud kit. I was running 11.20's-11.30's @ 119-120. Hopefully,with the head work..high 10's We'll see!

Car looks Great Randy!! Make sure you check piston to valve clearance when you re-assemble the motor. With the heads milled, the valves are now closer to the pistons.

If you have any spare time this week end,come on over for a look-see! Sparky..THANKS for the kind words! Make sure you have your Ray Ban's on next September..when you can check out the X in person! And you know darn well those FireCore stickers are a PERMANENT fixture on my side windows!...BTW..do I get a commission check this season...for the rolling advertisement???

Thanks,Al! I'd LOVE to see your NEW PAINT pics,as well! I wish I had a son who was a painter..could have saved some money...for ALL this EXPENSIVE exterior trim,that HAS to be replaced! Just picked up some sill plates..and the body side moulding kit,from Matt at MCB Metal,in Capac,Mi. Over $500.00! Waiting on tail light bezels..trunk finish panel,and wheel lip mouldings! They're on back order. Sometimes I wish I owned a Roadrunner!

All the body side moldings AND sill plates, 500 for all?

With or without the wheel lip mouldings?

Either way it sounds like I should be
contacting them

I don't have ANY of that stuff, my car came out of a junkyard in the mid '80s and it was all gone by the time I got it (along with everything else).

hmm

eek

Wow. 825 for the trim.

The whole body only cost 1000!
But that was in the '80s, guess I need to stop living in the past....the cars are worth too much to leave ratty looking, so the parts cost goes up right along with the cars.

When you put bumpers back on tape off the painted areas outlining bumper's edges and solicit some help.. When I put the Dart's bumpers back on I had wifey and daughter help out.

Thanks for the advice,Bill! My painter and I already installed the back bumper. I will probably recruit my neighbor..or Mike(P-Body)to lend me a hand! Mike said he would help me with the trim installation..down the road!
