Thanks CDN72SE, Even though it might look like a lot of pictures, I wish I had taken more pictures along the way as there was much more involved and a lot I just did when I'd get going and then would think oh, dang I wish I had pictures of what it looked like before. but again thank you I do appreciate someone else enjoying the build process as I did.
gss, Thank you too, Yes, I like the look of the landau better myself and was glad that the original owner had the dealer install one so I could keep the car all "correct" as delivered to the original owner. I haven't been able to find anyone that knows WHY they didn't offer the R/T with a landau vinyl and would love to find out the reasoning behind it.
Limelite, Thank you as well, I'm very happy with the car (even though I can pick out all the flaws) and enjoy the way heads turn and comments get shouted across the parking lot as you get in it or drive by, that's the cool stuff... when others enjoy it as well!

Looks great! I've been very, very slowly getting my 71 R/T into shape. Got most of the sheetmetal tackled last year. I'm overseas right now but when I get back in a few months I should finally be able to get her into paint! Seeing success stories like your's and the young guns super bee certainly helps keep the motivation up.

It's a B-5 blue w/black vinyl top 440/4 speed car. Bought it out of Pennsylvania about 10 yrs ago. Right now it's just a shell and still has some sheetmetal work to do before it goes into paint, but it's much much closer than it was even last winter (09-10). I hardly have any of the photos of the car with me, I've attached one of it last yr while the passenger quarter was off.

Used an AMD quarter on that side, used a partial donor quarter on the driver side. The guy who did the work said the AMD quarter was one of the best aftermarket ones he's ever worked with.
