Repaint #3 of Danbury Mint's yellow 1969 Hemi Charger.  This time I chose paint code F3, Light Green Poly, a fairly popular color of the day.  I  changed the interior color from black to white which was a bit of a challenge with all of the small chrome parts on the door panels, plus the seat belts.  I also corrected the front door armrests.  DM put them on the wrong doors.

Dismantled and stripped

Interior and headliner from black to white.  I matched the interior white to the '70 Plum Crazy Charger. It's actually a dirty white.

 I slightly lowered the front suspension.  RWL tires are from FM 'Cuda.

Pete,

That was an awesome project and outcome!  Can you show a few steps with tips on disassembly and reassemble?  I never even considered this but occasionally see them only in their final state 👍👍

Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments!  

@greatmachines and John Napoli:   The disassembly process is different for each model, and I generally don't take pics when I take a car apart.  However,  I have a '70 'Cuda convertible that I've been saving for a project that I would be happy to take pictures of during disassembly.  Give me a few days and I'll have some pics for ya!
