I spent last evening hanging plastic for a paint booth. We mixed up some Slicksand and hit a few low spots; one those are blocked out she'll be ready to shoot. We're leaving on an Alaska cruise on July 4th; should be all one color before we take off.

Looks great . Fun to see some folks making progress. As usual, fighting time and weather, to keep house from falling apart(siding repair and paint this summer!) So waiting on truck for when friends are around to help get the engine back in!"

Finally after 4 years I got some paint on the car this weekend. I think it came out nice; next step to finish up the doors and decklid and shoot them, and then onto the front clip. I gotta laugh; I looked back at the first posting of this thread from May of 08 and I had said I thought i"d be done with the car in about 18 months. Boy, did I have a lot to learn.

The car looks great, Falcon!!!! You're going to have yourself one heck of a fleet of MoPars!!!!
BTW--You will get the car done in 18 months, it'll just take some "adjusting" to what your start date is!!!!!!!

One of those good milestones to hit!Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Thanks all; now it's time for a nice break. My wife and I and some other family members are heading to Seattle for a 7 day Alaskan cruise on Wednesday. It'll be nice to get away from work and from the 100+ temps we've had for a week. NTFDAY, I wish our scheduled lined up; you'd be more than welcome if I was going to be home. Bon Voyage, all; I'll try to log on and touch base while I'm on the ship.

We got some time in on this one the last few days. The door and trunklid jambs are painted and we hung them back on the car. Over the next few weeks we'll finish up a little work on them and get them painted; then start on the front clip.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
