The Challenger just needs to be blocked and then painted. My painter hasn't been able to spend a lot of time on the car lately. I'm hoping bye the end of the month.

Got the paint on. Used the rear speaker tray for the color match. I'm very happy with the results. We will hang the doors, hood and deck lid bye this next weekend.

After breaking the engine in on a run stand, finally got the paint finished. Most of the subassemblies and parts are ready to bolt on so I'm hoping to have things close to being finished up by the end of next year.

Finally moving ahead with the restoration. The vinyl top, headliner and sunroof are installed. This was definitely one of the biggest steps to move forward. I am very happy with the results.

What products did you use for your sealer/primer/paint? You said block sand, I'm assuming epoxy high build primer?
