1st primer
What a big difference when the car is a uniform color. RF Customs shot the first coat of primer on the car yesterday.. Looking great !!!
Have a few items to address like the console brackets and misc wire tabs on the trunk and rear section. Thanks also to Dave Points for removing the original rear valance wire tabs and reconditioning them. Thanks to Brian and Ray Reitz at the shop..

69 Charger 500 visit;
Stretched legs on the ole Daytona to visit Ray Reitz and Brian to see the 500.. Man, she looks good.. Nice to help install the hood. Pictures make the car have an orange hue, but in person she's definitely red.

Well, the whole car is red now, albeit the lighting makes it look like Candy-Apple Red..

Operation C500 update;
Brought home the sidemarker bezels after being painted and joined them with the NOS reflector assemblies I have. Have the other red one somewhere in my NOS stash... Look forward in placing them into their permanent home.
Was sent pictures yesterday of the 500.. Looks pretty good from here. I will swing by tomorrow to drop off the "500" stripe. Today the organosol black-out treatment for the taillamp panel should be done.

Operation they-ain't-NOS-anymore; once they get put on the car :2thumbs:

Well, long story here but behind the scenes there was a possibility that the 500, as it was post paint-n-body, was going to find another home. A gent who has made repeated inquiries about the car since I bought it called again right before I took delivery of the car from the shop. Well, in my true nature, I thought "What the Heck".. Ok, I didn't go after anything on this.. 😀
Told him it would be ONLY if I was able to get enough cash to buy a Superbird I know of AND another car he owned in particular. After all, this 500 is NOT your typical Hemi Charger 500. Not that any Hemi Charger 500 is typical. EVERYTHING was in line and I was feeling rather pumped about it.. But, alas, he reached out 2 days after what I thought was wiring the money only to find out he had to pull out of the deal. Oh well, wasn't meant to be.. (granted wasn't too happy and still aren't). Soooo, time for some Mopar-therapy by installing some NOS parts and getting one NOS Monoco/Polara wheel cover. Few things are better than installing new emblems on new paint.

Hi Troy,

I am following along with the build here, as I also am on the BBodiesOnly Forum. That is truly a rare car, congrats on finding it. You said in one of your posts that it is red, I thought it was orange? Please keep us all updated if you have any updates. Hope to hear more on it soon. smile

Yes I saw that on ForBBodiesOnly he was thinking of selling if he got a great price and a Superbird. Also saw the car on Feebay. That's what I thought but wasn't sure. Ok, that settles that nevermind then

I'll amend my comment.
As of last week he still has it. Or at least was still searching for parts for it
