UPDATE: The Mopar is painted

I finally have some news for you guys watching my Road Runner build. I went down and took these pics after work today. Still needs to be color sanded 1 more time and the dust trail Road Runner stickers put down the sides and then the whole car will be doused in clear. The hood needs to be painted with the matte black stripes added down the center and then I can start putting it back together. WOOOOHOOOOO. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Looks great Jeff Can't wait to see it in person. And maybe a test drive?? Bob

That will be one badass car!

that is going to one sweet lime mean machine.
Thanks for the update.

Just one word KILLER

I think it sucks! Red would have been much better. Ok now for sure I will paint another

:O Beauty!!!

What motor do you have in store for that?

It will be getting a 440 with a 727 auto. I have already installed a 4 link rear suspension and it will have a tubular K-member by Magnum Force with power rack and pinion steering. 4 wheel Wilwood 12" drilled and slotted disc brakes and Strange coil over shocks all the way around. Its going to sit about 3" lower than stock in the front and about 4" lower in the rear. I have been on a mission gathering parts lately and it seems to all be coming together pretty nicely. Can't wait to start assembling it. FINALLY one for me instead of slaving away at it for months and watching someone else take it home. Thanks for all the great comments guys.

Jeff it is nice, but we will see if you can drive it to GG in October, ;) you are making great progress with it.

[FONT=century gothic]W:w00t:W Jeff! The color is Absolutely Beautiful! Right On! I can't wait to see it fully striped and geared up. Yea!

Congratulations! Bud!

Same color as my brother in laws ex Roadrunner he had 30 years ago.
It looks like a money pit, yes???

440...? VERY nice... Stock or blown with nitrous...? lol...

Any idea on the horsepower?

Jeff

Oh Man Jeff she is a BEAUTY!!! That color just does it right!! It just POPS on my screen!! I love the in progress pics!! Thanks for sharing and keep us posted as she gets finished up!!

Take care, [I]Bill[/I]

Jeff: Great color! A guy here in town has one and with the white decals/stripes, it will be stellar. Amazing how the bees around here gravitate to that color. A fantastic machine you have there.

Road Runner Looks Great Jeff....That will be a BAS A** Car....
Color looks to be Limelight or Sublime....I think Plymouth called it Limelight and Dodge called it Sublime, same color code for both I believe...
Can't wait to see the finished product!

Thanks Drew, and everyone else for all the great comments, the color is Hot Lime by PPG and is pretty close to the stock color with a bit more pop. I don't think I'll be missed by anybody on the road as it is pretty bright in person.
