Paint and Body: body was sand blasted to bare metal and all defects were repaired. When I bought this car it was relatively rust free, and no major panels were replaced. Primed on the inside and underneath with etching primer. I did not do the body work or painting of this car. This was the ONLY part of the restoration that I did not personally do. It was repainted with basecoat/clearcoat finish in correct 1968 Mopar Electric Blue. The car was originally Matador red with a white vinyl top and interior. All of the original trim was reused. There are two small dents on the top trunk lid trim that I could not repair and I could not find a replacement for the existing piece.
