Are most of those parts NOS or reproductions?
The only NOS parts are the side emblems, bumpers, hood inserts, upper & lower deck lid trim and headlight surrounds, everything else is a reproduction part.
I need to get to the body shop to get some updated pictures
Billy are they NOS? Or old redone parts that a plater did for you? Also you show the silver and charcoal is that the 2 colors you are doing the car in? I also had one more question when I see the fenders and other body panels what did they use does not look like a DA with #80 Did they take a grinder and go over the whole surface?

Im going to assume your asking about the bumpers, hood inserts and such. Bumpers are original as well as the hood inserts and side emblems, I had a local shop here redo & straighten them plus re-chrome them. They will be doing my other bright work in the next few weeks also. My headlight surrounds, upper/lower deck lid tin, side spear and gills are all Original also. The tail light bezels, dash bezel, glove box pieces, mirror, door handles, gas cap, etc are all from B/E&A (Mike, AKA HEMICUDA). It wont be long and I will have an order into DANTE (Sp?) as well as some other MOPARTS members. The goal for the car is to have a magazine material type car as well as show and once a year drag car. We have a motor picked out for the car and if what I have in my minds eye turns out to be what I want it should be the

Front fenders being massaged. If you looked at the previous pics then you will see the vast difference in the fenders Like I said before, block sanding has started on the car and this will be done several times with the last one being a wet sand. From there they tell me its time for paint. So until they start spraying silver paint, powder coating suspension parts I wont have any updates. Just hope I have it home by fall so I have a car to work on over the winter.
