I got a call this week from the media blaster that he had finished blasting the driver door of the Challenger. When I went to pick it up and started talking to him, he said he had an opening next week and could blast the car for me. So we loaded it up today and moved it to his shop. They will start working on it on Monday and the car will go on a rotisserie.

Thanks guys. BURBAR, I'll have to look and see what paint I used. Can't recall at the moment but I'll let you know. The brackets were painted nicely in the 80s by the previous owner and that kept them pretty nice. The only pitting that existed was where it bolts to the frame of the car and they were small and would be hidden once bolted up. Yes Jackie...I'm very stoked to have gotten the car this far. Once the car is completely blasted and primed, I'll bring the car home to do some mock up stuff for the power brake conversion and a few other things. I'm interested in having the bodyguy/painter that I spoke with today do the car. My gut tells me he's the guy. He said he could take it in this fall and the car would be done late spring or early summer of next year. That would be an ideal time frame for me. Hopefully it will work out. The body guy said he would make the patch for the cowl area so I believe that is exactly what he had in mind. Joe
