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.
Jeff

Re: UPDATE: The Mopar is painted
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.

Re: UPDATE: The Mopar is painted
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.

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.
