Here are the finished pics of a 10 year rebuild. I originally built this one at least ten years ago but was never happy with the paint so a few years back I stripped the body, repainted it, cleared it and then it went back in the box. Last week I pulled it out and realized that it really only needed to be re-foiled and reassembled. Put the final touches on it this afternoon.

Very clean and detailed build. Nice job on the opening trunk. The dog dish hub caps are a great addition to it.  What was the original color you painted it years ago?

Thanks Tom. I redid this not because I didn't like the color but wasn't happy with the way the finish came out. It was originally Green, just like you see it now. If you stare at the pics long enough you can most likely see that this new body color is a bit darker than the wheels. That's what the original green was. I didn't re-do the wheels and tried to come as close as possible to match.

Yea, Wayne, when I zoomed in on the dog dish caps I noticed that. 

I did one of these years back except with Torque Thrust wheels. Yours got me wanting to build another one with a different approach. 

I just love these old Mopars, and big fast cars in general.
