New Paint on the Old Girl

[rebel_horseman]

First I just wanted to say hey to everyone. Got laid off at work back in July and sold my house in MS at the same time. Went to work on a shut-down workign 7 12's for a month. Then went on vacation to Gatlinburg, TN and got back the other night. So needless to say I've been a bit remiss in my internet usage.

Nevertheless, I finally got the wifey to agree to let me start fixing up the Dodge so that it doesn't rot away. Step 1 has been completed. Just got a new paint job on her. Four coats of Sherwin Williams' premum auto paint and four coats of clear. The roof was pretty bad off so I had it stripped completely to bare metal and then primed and painted. It is close to the stock maroon but it does have a hint of orange in it. Also painted the wheels with a coat of flat black Rustoleum and a finish coat of their Hammered black paint http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=29

Over the next few months I will be getting a new grille for it, tinting the windows, putting in a bed liner, building a bench rear seat that will have a storage space and room for a subwoofer, and a stereo system upgrade. I may also do a few other minor things and before too long the H1C is getting replaced. Anyway hope ya'll like the pics.

Excellent job! Brought back memories of my old first gen. How 'bout some black stacks?

Thought about going with stacks but I'm still undecided. This will be a budget build project so I may have to piece some things together. If I go with stacks I'm going to go with black on them too.
