The New paint!!

Nice work on the paint, you'll have to post pics of the finished product...and pics of the General...now...

I was trying to have my Charger done for a huge car cruise and show this weekend but I don't think it's gonna happen.
 
Here is some pics of the General and some of the process of the resto.

Nice pics of the Charger. I may need to enlist your knowledge on a couple of things as I put my Charger back together. I'm getting ready to put the new headliner in it on Monday, then it's onto the window glass and those crazy window arms and vents.

Did you convert the rear tails over to a 69?
 
I actually have not had to replace the headliner or taken out the quarter windows I heard those are a pain so I never touched them. The door windows aren't bad, you just have to put the main window and the wing window in at the same time.

Yeah I changed out the tail lights and grille a few years ago so it would be more show correct.
 
Looks damn good! I usually hate two tone paint jobs but yours came out great bro. Can't wait to see it all back together... Go Raiders!!
 
Does your general have the correct 69 tail lights or did you leave the 68 tail lights on it? Atleast it has the 69 front grille.
 
All together just waiting for the mirror covers, he paited them black instead of silver. I think it came out pretty good, trying to figure out if I should do a pinstripe or not.

I'd use the pinstripe as a chance to toss in a 3rd accent colour. Could even go quite bold on it and just have a few small touches of it here and there... If it were my car I'd go with something that has some pop to it. Maybe a bright red, orange or even lime green?

I agree. Pinstripe would set it OFF!! I say slime green.
