body work and paint......driver side fender needed replaceing realy bad body work by the last guy who have the car. he tried doing the rust repairs with fibergrass needless to say it came out bad. he also tried welding some of the repairs with brazing rods well if u weld for a liveing u know how crapy it came out so i'm going to have to grind all the brass out and get with the mig to fix this.I still have not made up my mine on how i'm going to paint the car.over the summer i read in hot rod about $98 paint job so i took a junkyard trunk lid and tri it. left it in the texas sunny to see how it would hold up so far so good i in stall the lid on my car now so i just mite do the rest of the car like that or good the Dupli-color way.stay tune and fine out which one i use and how it comes out. he pic of what i'm doing.

this is the look i'm after.......
...................i like the no bumper look........................

I like the Baldwin Motion strips and the wheelwell flairs too

$98 paint job test run with old lid out of a junk yard.

wet sand after 2 coats....................................after 4 coats what it look like

after 3 mouths in the texas sun and rain still shining

what i've done so far and found

old lid i replaced see the rust?
................................................................gee what will i find under this fibergrass?

ONE BIG RUSTED OUT HOLE TO FIX! THAT'S WHAT

the nose was no different poor bondo work. under the bondo was ( u guess it) rust. so out come the hammer and dollie to straiten the steel.

.............................................................. OH LOOK A PIN HOLEMADE BY RUST!!!!!

MORE sanding and banging with the hammer and some self- etching prime on the bare metal.

..........................................................................................supplies..........................................................

WOW!! body work is a bitch. now i under stand Y they charge so much.for the last 2 weeks I've been welding, hammering,and filling and i still miss some spots that now i will have to go back and do cause i didn't see it in primer.with the first coat of paint i can see the spot's i missed.OBTW i am using the roller method, Yes it is time consuming but fun at the sametime u can read about the roller method in hot rod under $98 paint job. or go here and read about it.CLICK HERE here some pic's

finally got back to the car after the thankgiving holiday. wet sand and fix the spots i miss with glaze. I'm tring to get it as straight as i can where the black strip will be.

the noise came out suprisingly well and that's just one coat of paint

This is coat #8.i figer 2 more coats and it done.Then I can start on laying the strips.

Well finsh the last coat of paint.that 8 coats total now just have to wait until it get a little warmer outside so I can wetsand use 1500 paper and add the strip and buff it all out.

Finally the strip.....................................

IT'S DONE. THE PAINT FOR NOW IS DONE. I RUN OUT OF MONEY SO I COULDN'T GET THE FIBERGLASS L-88 HOOD I WANTED SO I USE THE HOOD I HAD AND LEFT IT IN FLAT BLACK

FIBERGLASS HOOD IS ON AND PAINTED
