I posted some pics of my survivor back in November after a light clean up. These are current. On it's way to shop tomorrow for new paint, stripe and vinyl top. Body wise, all I have used to date is Nu-Finish and spray detailer. Main reason for repaint is dented passenger front fender(previous owner vs mailbox) and loads of surface scratches from what appears to be a dry rag wipe down. Stripe has several nicks and chips along the edges. Vinyl top is decent, but has dry spots that won't go away.

Dont paint it , its awesome the way it is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man I wouldn't paint that car either! I would get painless dent removal to fix the fender and I'd live with the scratches. Of course I didn't pay for it and you did so naturally you can do what feels right for you. No shame in the way it is though, lovely car!

DO NOT PAINT THAT CAR!

Call a paintless dent repair guy.

i have a 74 se in the same colour. i love your car the way it is very original looking. i think you may hurt the value not that i care much about that myself but you may want to look into it before you do the paint. either way i love it

just fyi love the pics keep em coming i am using your car as a reference for my own rebuild!

I wouldn't paint that car ever.......I think you will actually hurt the value. Not too many orignal paint cars still out there. Your money can be spend in better places, like front end other places but the last place would be paint for that car.

I'm with everyone else. DO NOT paint that car!!!

Right now the paint is a little faded, the chrome on the bumpers is worn and all the other components are showing their age. BUT, it's a survivor...it's supposed to look like that.

Once it has fresh paint, the bumpers are still going to look worn and all the other components are still going to show their age. It's going to look like a half a$$ed restoration with just new paint. If it gets painted, your going to have to redo everything else so it looks as good as the paint.

Sorry guys, I dropped it off this morning. Rechromed bumpers in the works. Got a lot of stainless buffing ahead of me. Tracking wheel opening trim now, got maybe 1 good piece out of the 4. All new Metro seals and bumper brackets have been powder coated. New headliner after paint, one in car is not original and a poor install. Still need lower door panels and an original dash pad.

sweet!

I am working on a 74 RR in primer now.

But if I had your car I would leave the paint!

hope it turns out good and you picked a decent shop. I would've left it alone though. But it is your car. To each his own.

Nooooooooo !

Damn i miss that car.
Was jealous when i saw your car on DodgeCharger.com.
Now, not as much.......
Should be beautiful though when done.

I think it will look great with a fresh paint job...I hate the thought of driving around in a car with dents, scratches and stuff...That would drive me nuts

Under the vinyl.


some rust found in a pillars

See, you shoulda left it all original so that rust could finish off the roof. JK. Can't wait to see it down. Thanks for pming me those pics a while back

Actually, the roof was close to mint. That brown is glue residue from the vinyl. Only the pillars had rust, passenger side the worst, but not bad considering.

So how far do you plan to go ? I have a dollar that says there's rust under the windshield
