The work continues on my Buick. We have finished shaving the door handles and body emblems. We have begun the process of shaving the filler door and 'frenching' the power antenna. The bumpers are at the metal shop being smoothed and filled.
I have decided the refinish the car with SIKKENS special effects charcoal for the upper and pewter for the lower, with a brilliant blue pinstripe and graphic detail in between.
The engine in coming in soon, and will be dismatled and prepped for refinishing.
Engine bay prepped for two tone paint.
Rear of car prepped and readied for gas filler relocation.
Final snading and prep, prior to primer.
Preparing to shave gas filler door.
Shaved trunk cover in primer and prepped wing.
Shaved hood, in primer.
Shaved door handles, ready for primer.
I have also decided to paint the window trim, upper body color, to match in better. Grille, headlight and tailight bezels and both bumpers will be painted lower body color.
Lots of work done, LOT MORE TO DO...
I will be updating this site quite regularly, as the work progresses. Keep Coming Back!!!
