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.

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! )

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.

We've seen so many damn colors on that car, we haven't figured out what was original, either.

It's distortion by the camera. In person they're straight. They're just a gimmick anyways and will be sanded off before final paint. Beer and nothing better to do usually finds time to do something silly like that.
Yes, that's a Shelby you spy. It's Rick's (71autoxr) brother's GT350.

I'll jump in here, the body, for the most part, is pretty straight. The roof has a large patch from the sunroof removal/repair, the hood was grafted from a later e-body hood, the fender is a combination of two fenders. Both doors, and both quarters have very minimal filler. The passengers side fender has very little filler. A lot of the pictures show bare metal with some prior tan-ish primer that is in good shape with no need for us to strip off, and should not be confused with filler.
I think the car was a pretty typical transportation vehicle for a great number of years and just wracked up some minor dents and dings, but as far as we can tell nothing major. Both quarter panels are original as well as both doors.
The goal is just to have a decent driver for Mike's daughter, which will be a daily driver, and not to spend too much money or time. So far I think were into it for 8-10 days labor and Mike will have less than $1000 into it for body work beer and paint.
Seeing the car in this stage has given Mike new life for the project and may have already ordered all the parts to rebuilt the front end and do the v-8 swap after paint.

Wurd... As Rick mentioned, I think you are confusing filler with the color of paint we left on the car. There were 7-8 layers of primer and paint. The only areas we took all the way to metal were the hood and roof. Other areas we got down to smooth paint and left it. The only filler we have used was on the roof, hood, and Frankenstein driver's fender...and it was only used to cover welds. The lower rear quarters also have patches welded in, so there's a little filler there too. There's less than 1/16" in the deepest areas. The rest of the car is straight and rust free. The only rust we did find, Rick filled with lead instead of plastic...did a damn fine job too, I must say. In the days we have spent, there were some surprises we uncovered when we began stripping. Those surprises have been addressed and we're no worse for the wear. Thanks all for the encouraging comments. Hopefully by March we'll have it in paint. I know my daughter is getting excited seeing it all in primer now. I have more plans for it than my wallet can handle, so little by little it will be taken care of. No front end parts yet...

Yep, I know. We have to wish for some warmer weather...I don't think we want to paint when it's 50* out.

All those layers of paint would certainly give it that look of a leopard as you are trying to get the body ready for paint. It looks like your hard work is paying off.
Your car is in great shape compared to my project. The rust has really taken its toll on mine. I wish I had a vehicle as solid as yours.
Sorry to hear you have a major rust project on your hands. I used to live in upstate NY, so I've seen my fair share. That's one of the biggest reasons I moved down here...rust-free sheet metal.

What kind of wheels are you going to put on it?
I have the matching set for the ones that are on the rear. They're American Racing Champ 500's. I need to rebuild the front end before I put them on...as it is I am blowing through $20 used tires on the front. If I had saved the $40 each time, I'd have enough to buy the front end parts...

Well, up until this past weekend not much had been done in the two weeks prior (Christmas and New Years weekends...no time for the car). This weekend we got hot and heavy with it and glazed some imperfections and shot the whole car in 2-3 coats of more primer. Of course, no weekend goes without a hitch and when I started spraying the hood this morning, the primer reacted with the semi-sanded off black stripes and caused me to have to stop. Rick and I had to sand the stripes completely off to ensure a smooth finish of primer. All in all, the car looks 99% better than it did 6-7 weeks ago when we started. The roof and hood are phenomenal compared to what we started with. Oh yeah...the Frankenstein fender too! LOL! Here's some boring shots of this weeks progress. Next week is a complete wet sand and the following week is paint! Some of the glazed areas --  These are the stripes we had to "remove"...this was before we totally removed them. Also, more glazed areas --    Somehow we forgot to strip the driver side rocker...two steps forward, one step back. DOH!   Sandblasted the center of the trunk lid where the wide molding goes --  Progress while sanding off the glaze --  Shooting primer...from the doors back (we still had some work to do on the hood) --    Working the glaze on the fenders and hood --  Fenders shot in primer --   Sun gettin' low...done for the night.  Showed back up at Rick's this morning bright and early. Finished the hood and roof and shot them in primer. The car is completely in primer again. Light wet sanding next week and paint the week after!

(...after looking at the pictures) How many more times do I have to tell you to put that hose behind your back, get closer to the car, and move slower? Damn kids.
In case anyone wants to know, the glaze fills pin holes from the plastic filler, and any imperfections that were left after sanding the plastic filler.
The car looks phenomenal and I think Mike, and I, are very happy with the results so far.
With a little luck the next pics you see will be the test colors to help Mike decide what color to paint. Maybe put it up to a Moparts vote????

yes, right there, what did I win?????
well actually it is about 4 inches further towards the rear of the car. But close enough that you do win!!! We will need your physical address to send the bill for the celebratory dinner after Monday, when it is painted and out of my garage.
I was going to say THE "bill" also!

Anyways, keep it going because I am watching this thread closely, I always like to see a car makeover done on the budget and for a good kid, will she bring the car to MATS this year Mike?
Thanks Nick. No MATS this year...I can't afford it.
So far, I think my supplies are around $800. We're shooting single stage acrylic urethane at a whopping $96/gal -------> If you add in the pizza, beer, and lunches, I think I'm at about $2300.

Awesome! Especially considering the condition of the car when you started!
