WOW. I, being newer to the forum, just caught onto this thread. Amazing work, man.

Yeah, I kinda just saw it myself.
I also get Stan's statement about early planning for retirement, which I've done since very early on... and now when it's 6.845 years away, I'm starting to feel the "love" from those who made different choices in life.

I'm not scheduled for retirement till 2040. However, between my "real job" and my other endeavors (carpentry/custom fabrication/restoration -- all proceeds go directly to savings/investment) and the crazy assed hours I pull, I should be able to dial that back a few years.... I can't imagine what exactly will change with retirement, but I look forward to it.
Retirement is great, I shoulda done it 45 years ago.

Ugh. That just reminded me I have to come back out and finish getting the hardest trunk floor to remove ever out of the green car.....
Paint is looking good. Not sure I'd have changed the color of an original Hemi car, but it looks good.

Why did you mask it?

Why did you mask it?
Because I'd already painted the underneath, inside the car, inside the trunk compartment and the engine bay. Wanted to keep the overspray off of them.
I keep looking at these 3 picture. What a beautiful sight to build from.

Great work Chris...absolutely stunning as usual!
I love the sunfire yellow, my 68 coronet rag was that hue....but I like my old mopars in their factory born with colors, so I would have wanted it back in the factory F8... ;)

What's worse, not having its original engine or not being the original colour?, a combination which will lower its value quite a bit, I'd imagine. Other than that, it's going to be a killer car when finished.

On a 68 having a date correct engine is as good as having the original, it is impossible to tell otherwise. They didn't start putting the VIN on the engines till 69.
