GTX PAINT UPDATE!

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.

another shot

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.

Randy, looks great so far. I cant wait to see the finished product. I think you made a smart move.

Lookin good Randy

Looks like it's coming along very nicely; love that stock color, too. That's a niiiiiice piece!

Looks great Randy! Are you doing the black bottom like the original?

Randy

Randy, are your fingers sore?
Doug

Watch out Randy, things escalate(sp?) pretty face when they go in for paint, next thing you know you have a concours show poodle.LOL
Lookin good!! Can't wait to park my green car next to your green car in the pits.

Looks like it's coming along nicely

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!!!

Looking good Randy. Ron

Thans,Ron!

Lookin Goooood!

Lookin great Randy!
Glad you stayed with the O.E. color

Looks sweeet Randy

keep the pics coming

Looking good Randy . Is that F5?

Thanks,guys! Justin...yes,F-5 Limelight green....although it looks darker than the original paint...which is fine! I REALLY like it! Darker than F-5....but lighter than F-8!

Randy, that car is gunna break necks when it is finished. Looking good buddy!

Now you'll be polishing instead of tuning at the track.

Very nice



Ron

Randy that car is really looking good sure will be nice when done and I do like your color choice



Russ

Thanks a lot,guys! Ryan...as long as it isn't my little ole' fragile neck that isn't damaged,I'm OK with that!

Looks like it is coming along good,Randy!

Mean Green Machine

Thanks,Teddy!...she's gonna be PUUURRTY when done! HELLO,"Raccoon Wrangler"! Yes! "The Mean Green Flyin' Machine" I only say that because of my wise-guy answer of "if it had wings I'd be flyin'" when someone would ask me how it's running! Happy New Year to both of you!

Lookin good Randy. I hope I still see it in the pits next year and not up front with yellow rope around it and mirrors

Lookin fine Randy...

Thanks,Jeff! ....Greg,NO SHOW CAR for me! The X will still be raced..on occasion! Might even join the 10 Second Club next season,if everything goes as planned! Happy New Year's fella's!

It's a proven fact " new paint makes your car go faster " Looking good.

oh oh, you're gonna be afraid to race it now

Thanks guys! DefBob..scared to race?...I don't think so!

Looking good. Are you tubbed? What size rear tire and wheel are you running?

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

Oh boy...waaaay too pretty to race now. Looks great.

Thanks Kath! Can't wait until it's finished! WE have to do the GREEN cars proud you know...since we are a minority!

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.

Jeff..I'm going to have it painted satin black..as well as the lower body panels below the trim..like the factory.
