Got the sanding and bondo work done today. Then spray bombed some flat black on her, and put the front end back together. Looks ALOT better now. I wont be ashamed to drive it now!!!!

Wow man it came along way

[HMUSN]

looks good.


needs a few more coats and a wet sand.

and dude.. paint the entire car

shiny and flat don't mix

[ujslost]

I cant paint the hood and front bumper. I sold those online to a guy, just waiting on him to come pick them up. they are just on there until i can find an 83-86 header panel to use with my 86 front end. and to keep the city ordinance guy off my ass for having a car sitting in parts

its got about 5 coats or so of paint and its been wet sanded, could use a little more wet sanding though

[HMUSN]

where is your bumper and hood?


you sprayed it like a said right?

[ujslost]

yeah i sprayed it like you said. did you not read my post? I have to have a header panel before I can install the 86 hood and front bumper. I already have them.

[HMUSN]

you didn't prep it well enough huh?


it look half decent man.

[ujslost]

Lmao, Im not sure what part you missed bro!

No I didnt do much prep on the doors, fenders, or decklid. I hit em with 180 on the DA sander thats all I done on those parts. Those are all parts that I am gonna replace, the only part I will be reusing are the 1/4 panels and the roof! Everything else is gonna be new. Yes I did prep the 1/4 panels and the roof. Why prep parts that arent gonna be on the car much longer. I only painted it because I had to sand down the 1/4s and roof because of some panel repairs they needed. So I thought I should just paint the whole thing because it would look really awful with just the roof and 1/4s painted!

[HMUSN]

to each is own

I would have just painted the entire car (minus your sold parts)

[ujslost]

LMAO, I did paint the entire car! minus the parts Ive sold!
What do you see that I didnt paint?

[HMUSN]

i dunno.. the bondo on the door/fender could use a few coats

[ujslost]

there is no bondo on the door or fenders!

[ujslost]

if your talking about the white stripes in places, thats the body molding it has a white stripe, i didnt paint the molding, its coming off and if i paint it flat black i t will be worthless

[HMUSN]

you are worthless


I am kidding.. I meant that big ass black stripe in the second pic

[ujslost]

I see what your talking about.
I dont know why its like that in the pic, its not like that on the car. And for some reason photobucket degrades the quality of my pics when I upload them.

[HMUSN]

I am talking about that

[HMUSN]

hmm... that's hard to miss man.

if you say it isn't on your car then good.

the rest of the job does look good.

[ujslost]

Ok Im going outside to see if its on the car right now........yep not on the car. But I do see what your talking about and I see it in 2 of the pictures which is really weird. I am satisfied with the outcome, although its not been polished like you mentioned. This is just a temp solution right now.

[HMUSN]

you might want to protect that bare paint man.
