I think this will serve me to keep motivated working on the project, even if only a little bit at a time. Back ground: I was interested in this car when I first saw pics of it. It appeared to be an easy project for me: New paint on one of my favorite body styles. It was looking like: throw a drive train in it, some interior work...and I'd have a very decent driver. I wasn't looking for perfection in the painted body, but the seller told me it was one of the most rust-free cars that he had the opportunity to work on. I checked it over, and asked a question( should have been my 1st clue of buyer beware!) Why was the old vinyl roof not replaced during the repaint? I see a few bubbles under there along the front top of the windshield area.What is under that? Serious rust? The owner assured me it was very minor surface rust, and nothing to worry about. I don't have alot of experience with vinyl roofs and their problems,plus the assurance of an obvious experienced Mopar expert( he had some other very nice Mopars on hand that weren't for sale, but very impressive.)Anyway, the paint shined really nice, looked quite straight, and the deal was struck...( probably paid twice what I should have, but o well...the guy seemed honest,and I won't have to track down a body/paint guy to get the car on it's way to be back on the road soon). So onto what I found, and you'll soon see why I got so mad! Not at what was found under the roof, but what was hidden to paint this car! Here's what I started with: 5621510-100_1856.JPG (415 downloads) Last edited by moopa; 11/22/09 11:01 PM.

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!

I hope that's the extent of the rust, but if the roof and trunk rail look like that, I'd be checking the lower rear quarters and the seam under the door very carefully.

I'd love to do it triple black, but I don't believe my body/paint skills would do it justice...but I'm having my suspicions that it was just a quickie paint job waiting for a chump like me to fall for it!If I can save this paint job, it might look good for some fun for a few years, until I can or want to do it all over again!

Due to the fact that my inner fenders and rad support are bent up fairly bad,the door to fender gaps were really out of whack, and it looks like there's been some work on the front of the frame rails, I'm wondering if I should get this thing on a frame machine now before the new inner fenders are welded on, just in case there's some work that needs doing. Will a frame shop be able to get it nearly perfect( within spec) without re-mounting the outer front fenders, hood and header panel,etc? 5760151-IMG_3031.JPG (70 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 recommend doing that before welding the new inners on. Frame work is cheap really and then you'll know you won't have issues with it. Sheldon

The only thing I was hoping to avoid is handling the fenders and hood too much, as I'm still trying to save the paint...likely a lost cause, now!! I'm thinking, there's now way to put them on and off a number of times,while tweaking the frame without screwing the paint up.

What you've been able to maintain from a momentum standpoint makes me think that you should be cloned. This past summer I stripped the second vinyl roof off my '74 Sebring Plus to prepare it for its third one and wound up with about the same amount of work that you undertook (on the topside that is). Now it's finally down to some final 3000 grit wet-sanding and buffing of the upper 1/4 panels because the rust actually worked its way down below the trim line. But probably like your situation, such projects only develop charector and keep us out of the bars. Keep up the great work, Brian Last edited by NI4NI; 01/31/11 05:55 PM. 1974 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus, 4bt turbo intercooled Cummins, SlapStik A727, 224 rear end gears http://www.4btswaps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9632
