Wow, that color looks fantastic. 
Two questions-
Was the factory primer shiny like the grey underbody paint you used?
What's the reasoning behind not painting roof? I'm asssuming you're having a vinyl top installed, but I still wonder. 
Super job so far. I would be  if my vehicle was at that stage. 
The underside does have clear on it. I want to still have the ability to clean it easily.. As you know, real primer is a pain in the [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean] to clean.. I'm want to be as original as possible, but not to the point of having nothing more than a trailer queen and I never drive it in the rain.... So, this way, I sort of get the best of both worlds.
The roof was painted white before... So, there's really no need to paint it again body color.. With that being said, originally, the the complete roof of a vinyl top wasn't painted. (If I'm not mistaken).
Thanks for the kind words... I'll be taking the trunk latch items tomorrow so he can finish with that... Then it's cut and buff, install all front wheel well shields and undercoat all the wheel wells.. Finally, the black finish to the taillamp panel will be applied...

Here's one of the latest of the motor.. It's a continual detailing, but fun nonetheless... I finally was able to get the pesky dipstick tube in and painted up.... I'll be installing the insulators later and painting them as well as they should.. This is a detailing in progress...

Absolutely fantasmagorical Troy!  I'm itching to have mine in color now. Thanks for the pep-pics. I'm out on a trip and when I get back I'll be finally finishing up the welding on my 68 (now a Hemi) Road Runner. Just a few more pieces to weld up: trunk gutters, gas tank strap braces, spare tire mount, and the lower rad support. Then it's bodywork time and then that beautiful LL1 will be gracing yet another B-Body in the Houston area. We'll have to talk about the painter when I get closer this fall. Keep up the good work and talk to you soon! Here's a shot of the "disposition" of my Beeper back together. Enjoy! Cheers
