looks good. what are ya gonna paint it.??
should this be in the projects section 
 It is now...
It's going to be a gunmetal-like silver with black accents. By accents I mean the "PLYMOUTH" across the nose will be black, the fender emblems will be black, the grilles will be black/chrome (instead of argent), and I might put black side stripes on it. I also have the "E-body" hood in my sig that we're going to refinish in the process. The scoop inserts will be black. It should be pretty sweet when finished.

LOL...yeah, we realized that after we had started. About 5 mins after this pic was taken we disconnected it.

Yeah, she knows...we're not pulling a "Over Hauling" on her. She's pretty excited to know she's not going to have to drive around in a primered piece of crap any more...now it will be a painted piece of crap. Deep down she loves the attention she gets in it even now.

that roof patch had my jaw literally drop. 
cool project.
In the late 70's I worked at an auto glass shop.. We used to just die when people would bring in there "pop top" sunroofs that were leaking.. Cut a hole in your roof expect the worse.. Another local glass shop was cutting out the tops of NEW trans ams and others installing t-tops... Still remember walking into that shop and an installer ( if you want to call him that) had his skill saw cutting off the roof of a brand new ( dealer still owned it) Trans am... Scary..

Since the roof is already hacked up...why not go all the way and make it into a convertable?   
Funny thing is, I have a spare roof I bought off Jim (65belvjim) a while ago...it's sitting in the back yard. I just don't want to mess with it right now...we just want to get some driver quality paint on it for now.
BTW...I do know someone making a convertible out of a 4-door Dart.

Maybe some T-tops then ? Surely you could find a mid 70's Camaro or Firebird in the junkyards willing to donate it's roof to you. (BTW...Silver should look awesome! )

Looking good! Are you going to shoot the engine bay silver as well? Silver looks great on those cars.
Yes, the bay will get silver as will the trunk and door jams, eventually. Initially we are just shooting the exterior and jams. The engine bay will be done when I transplant a V8 into it.
