Now I went and did it

[69 OUR/TEA]

TPR that forst photo of the QQ1 was the car that I had in mind for my paint scheme but decided to go with Silver/Black...my car originally had white interior & stripes but it was GREEN 

Actually that's a sweet combination if it has a black or white top.  Green interiors and tops are icky. 

Scott's car is beautiful,

You do know he works on his cars in the nude...

Don't you ?

Except for the turbin...

THAT stays on.

For you to come up with that visual makes me start to question your sexual preferences.    

No question there.

I'm very secure in that area.

I just have a twisted mind.

Mark, you are certainly a motivated owner...  Looks like a great car underneath. Will you fill in the holes and paint it yourself?

Not sure, His car came up on here a few yrs back and it looked so good it just stuck with me. The pics have been touched up obviously but it's still a beautiful ride. One I would own if I could have a dozen.

I know my abilities & bodywork isn't one of them. I have the body shopped already booked & as soon as I'm ready, he'll take it. This afternoon, I got the rest of the RH fender, half of the cowl, decklid & dutchman panel stripped. So far, I've got about 9 hours into D/A'ing & the car is just about half done. Looking to get the tail, LR quarter & if I feel ambitious, the hood done tomorrow & the rest on Sunday. After the paint is off, all I have left is to yank the drivetrain, gut the engine compartment, pull the dash & take out the rear window. Even if I slack off, I should still have it done by the end of next weekend.

You're cranking away Mark  !!!!! What it would be like to be young again !!!!

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Me young? I'm slow compared to my former younger self 30+ years ago.    

[TUFCAT]

By comparison, my work seems to get done like a 90 year old man. 

[Charger-Bodie]

Me young? I'm slow compared to my former younger self 30+ years ago.    

Got that 69 slated for a strip too?

No way. The 69 is staying as is.   

[Mytur Binsdirti]

The miserable work is done.

[Charger-Bodie]

No. The miserable work is about to start. You are just lucky enough not to have to do it.....

[bill440rt]

I see you left your dust mask hanging from the rear view mirror. 

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Here are some pictures of the car with all the paint off. As expected, there were 3 bad areas hiding some (not so hidden) damage with pretty shoddy repair work; top front of the right front fender, front of the left front fender & the left rear quarter, behind the driver's door. Can you believe that these areas were just mudded in with bondo? The left rear quarter will probably need a patch panel and I believe that the top of the right fender can be pulled out and straightened, but I'm not so sure of the left fender. I really don't want to have to buy one if I don't have to, but we'll have to weigh the cost to fix it versus the cost of a AMD fender. I just got done pulling the rear window & found some surface rust on the lower corners, but nothing came through.

In spite of these three bad spots, I am pleased with the condition of the body.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Couple more.....

[Charger-Bodie]

I would make a piece for each of the fenders. Weld up the holes in the quarter and metel work it from there.

[TUFCAT]

WOW! The left front fender was scalloped with dough?..... Musta' been a whole quart!

No kidding!

The stripping turbin was on the loose, lol

[bill440rt]

Wow, sure is amazing what you'll find under paint! 

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Picked clean!

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Here's the only rust I found on the body......
