Gotta say, the black accents with the mirrors and door handles really play nicely into the entire paint scheme! The wheels (as you mentioned earlier) matched to the black will really define this X-fire. If you consider this a rush job, (lol) you must have turned out some real one of a kind master pieces, rolling out of at booth over the years!

 

Looks great!

 

Wow, very nice. Please don't paint the wheels.

 

Thanks guys. I'm excited to get it finished up so I can start enjoying it again.
I have more time in the bottoms of Most cars than I do in my whole car. Lol

Gotta be a mopar, right? Unibody, torsion rods...

 

Yup. All I have done for the last 20 years are old mopars.
This one happens to be a 1970 road runner convertible 440-6 4-speed.

 

Stryfox,

From one MoPar man to another, I have a Dakota that needs a paint job. Where are you located?

I hang out here as a hobby. I am not trying to drum up work.
Yes I am the manager of totally auto.
My name is Carl

 

Very,very nice job. (and please don't paint the wheels, they look great already)
If that was mine, the only thing I would have done differently, assuming I would even have tried, would probably kept the mirrors body color (they came out great in black, I just wouldn't have tried it). I would love to see the paint in person some day, it must be great in the sun, or evening street lights.

 

That looks great, any chance of more pictures but of different views,ie. sides and rear.

 

Yes I plan to try to get some good photos this weekend not just phone snap shots.
I am happy to share.


What would you guys think of dark greaphite colored wheels?
I was originally thinking gloss black wheels and red calipers to match my engine bay.

Matching calipers would look great, or if possible, match the body color, not sure how that would hold up under the high heat.
As for the wheels, if you feel you must paint them, leave the rim lighter/natural color, and do the spokes and hub a medium graphite. (just my 2¢). I am not fond of blacked out wheels, they should be clearly visible, those are nice wheels, show them off a bit.

 

B e a u t i f u l !

 

Didn't get to take new pics yet maybe tomorrow. This one shows off the hood pretty good.
