And here's a little thing that made me mad...this nearly "rust-free car...etc" had bondo slathered all over the trunk gutter under the brand new paint...now that's not being honest hiding a bunch of rust by using nothing but filler, and painting over it to hide... 5621747-IMG_2569.jpg (152 downloads) 2015 TorRed Challenger Hellcat,A8 2013 Plum Crazy Challenger SRT8,6 Spd 2013 Black Challenger R/T Classic,auto (2)72 Satellites, one on hold,one under resto on the rotisserie.

I could put it up quick, and save the media( copper slag) for reusal. I put it together in my shop during crappy, rainy cold weather 5621774-IMG_2812.JPG (102 downloads) 2015 TorRed Challenger Hellcat,A8 2013 Plum Crazy Challenger SRT8,6 Spd 2013 Black Challenger R/T Classic,auto (2)72 Satellites, one on hold,one under resto on the rotisserie.

moopa OP enthusiast Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 375 An Island in the Pacific N.W.	Then instead of dragging it outside into the crappy wet weather...I thought, hey why not keep it in the shop where it's warm and dry, and less chance of bare metal rusting so fast...So I peeled back 3/4 of the roof, put on clear poly so shop light could shine thru... Also put tarp under the tent, and pulled up the sides to keep media in the tent and not all over the shop.Works great...no mess in the shop! 5621779-IMG_2826.JPG (128 downloads) 2015 TorRed Challenger Hellcat,A8 2013 Plum Crazy Challenger SRT8,6 Spd 2013 Black Challenger R/T Classic,auto (2)72 Satellites, one on hold,one under resto on the rotisserie.

Thanks for the comment Macho, I plan on trying to preserve the green( which is new paint) on the outer body as in the first photos,and using black for vinyl top, and interior. If I ruin too much of the new paint then it wont matter what color I go with, as everything goes with black!
