Amen to painting the radiator support black. I can’t stand seeing body color behind the grille. It’s amazing how often that’s missed, even on professionally built cars.

Sorry to hear you've had so much trouble with your "new" car, but it seems you have taken care of the issues. Body color on the support...how hard is it to paper over that for paint...

The paint looks good in the pic, hopefully he did a good job on that for you.

Paint is over 15 years old. The guy who looked at the car for me described the paint at about 8.5. Very little body work has been done, possibly both lower quarter panels. It was painted by Rainbow body in Wisc. I love the colour & it gets alot of attention. Sat in a building for all these years waiting to be finished.

The issues were basic automotive issue so working with it was just old school science. That I can do....Joe

Yeah, I went back and re-read the thread. For some reason I thought the PO had it painted and was doing the reassembly.

Here's some more pictures. I have the correct fender mounted turn signal lights. Other than that, I think the exterior is done. I still have the rear speaker to install, repair the RH seat track & install the rest of the pieces that made up the A01 light option which includes map light, time delay dash & key lights. During the time of taking the car apart to paint the core support it was noted that the car wasn't black as I had originally thought. It was pale green metalic, FF4, with a vinyl top of unknown colour. With the exception of the rear valance all sheet metal is original Mopar....Joe
