Default Super Bee Back From Paint
Several of you asked for pics when my '71 Super Bee was out of the shop. They probably cut out and re-welded 1/3 of the bottom of the car. It started it's life as a Canadian export then went to Michigan, so it had a ton of rust. All that is repaired now and the body panels are arrow straight. Stripes and nameplates aren't on yet.

We repainted the stock color (B7 Blue for you Mopar geeks). The wheels are aluminum 17 X 8 reproductions of the Magnum 500 wheels. They just came out with them last week. Tires are new BFG KDW's. New vinyl top as well.

Here are a few shots from Cars and Coffee this morning:

Can't wait to see it... Hey, I thought it looked great before the repaint!

So where is C&C on the second Saturday?

Yep. On the hood bulge and striping around the cowl all the way back to the rear.

Looking good,those 17"s actually fill the wheel wells nicely,not an easy task with the fuselage body style. Is the speedo in kilometers?
