Alot of work ahead

 

Looks like you are off to a good start with a solid car. What are you plans?

Good luck!!!

 

Take the car down to bare metal and repaint it. This is the color

 

Cool project. I love the big spinner SS wheels!

 

 

Moving along.

 

More sanding

 

 

This primer and harder were going with .

 

First coat of primer

 

Go man Go!!! You are making good progress!

 

Thanks

 

 

Wow! your not messing around! Stripping that to the bare metal is hard core! Mad respect for doing a really good job! And good for you the body is in very good shape and looks really solid, not a whole lot of body damage,. keep rockin! Oh the blue you picked is gorgeous by the way!

 

As said, great job and fast. These cars are usually better taken care of, seem to rot less and usually have less Winter driving on them than G bodies. Keeping the stock 307?

 

Thanks I'm not doing it alone my are friends letting me get in the way , they haven't kicked me out of the garage😀

 

Yes ,This summer i put a radiator, water pump,fan clutch, hoses,shocks,front springs,fuel pump,ball joints,tie rods and rotors and pads.

 

Haha! I know what your talking about I spilled oil in my brothers driveway on accident and he's really really not happy with me,😂 I'm still trying to get it Cleaned up, scrubbing and scrubbing with all these different cleaners. I did learn, never do that again.

 

You'll know if he still mad if he doesn't invite you over for xmas 🎅🤣

 

Got her tape up going to spray black base coat and then the blue.

 

Yeah but the problem comes in where Im renting a room from the same house he's living in...... we both drive home to the oil stain.

 

Oh wow! I can't wait to see the car after the blue!

 

 

Lots of wet sanding and buffing

 

Looks great Eric!

 

This sides are coming out great but the tops and roof will take more time. Thanks for viewing.

 

Awesome! I can't wait to see it after you polish it!

 

More sanding and buffing to go.How you guys like the color?

 

It's lookin good Eric! I think you chose a really nice color and can't wait to see it in the sun!

 

Color is looking great. Good job. Cool to see that car getting the love that you are giving it.

The oil stains in the driveway. Use cheap cat litter and a small two by four and grind the litter into the concrete. Works very good.

 

Under sunlight it brightens up alot.

 

You can pick these cars up on Craigslist from $3,000 to $6,000 in good to fair condition with low miles. You put some work in them you got a nice cruiser . The trunk is huge,the ride is soft get on the interstate and drive for hours .

 

Now I'm trying this, thanks!

 

Trying to get a seat back at the table for Thanksgiving good luck .😀😁

 

Almost their,
Almost their ,putting black molding on sides.Going to paint the wheels black but keep trim rings and caps. More buffing and polishing of chrome. Another month before rear bumper fillers in.😟😁

 

Oh nice! Your making me Want to buff my car. I just thought mine came out really nice without buffing and it'd take a lot of work but seeing yours I feel like I have to make the time. Good job Eric!

 

Yours came out great.I should've spent more money on a better clear .This would've cut down wet sanding and buffing , but hey like they say you get what you pay for🤷🏾‍♂️.Thanks for viewing.

 

Love your shop, Eric! 88 looks great!

 

This is not my shop, its my friend shop. He let me play in it and work on cars. I help sand and dismantled and reassembled the car, he sprayed the car and give guidance how to fix and correct things. I have mad respect for his talent and passion for getting it right .Many of the members on CO have mad skills and I tip my hat to you guys.This has been a humbling experience but alot of fun .Thanks for viewing. 👍

 

Impressive, very quick turn around. Yeah, having a body shop friend is huge and this is a perfect example. The Blue really pops, enjoy!
