I thought I would post a couple of before and half way pictures. (similar to before and after pictures) I haven't posted in a while because I spent the last 9 months welding on my car, going through a spool of wire and about 4 bottles of gas I usually spend one full day a week in the garage to unwind. So I am estimating that it took approximately 300 hours of metal work to get it to the point of sending it out for final body / paint. Here's a before shot.....

thanks DRMOPAR! I had a lot of fun over the winter doing all the metal work. I hope to do all the interior work this summer now that the car is off to the paint shop.

Hi Joe, The RR project came with most of the metal to replace the rot. I did the entire interior floor replacement with 5 original pieces that came with the project.
I would have done just one pan, but my goal was to use all the parts car metal that came with the car instead of buying new.
The cuda is still at my friends shop as a shell. He has been working on it a couple hours a week.
I just sent the RR to a local restoration shop for the body paint. I hate to do it becauses its gonna be 3x the price, but I want to get something finished to drive next year!
