You aint kidding, Dave. Now some of my 5000 little weld burns can start healing. Here she is in red; like Sammy says, "Red, red, I want red. There's no substitute for red!"

Lookin' great! Resale red always works.... Lots of us redaholics on here!!!!!

WOW.. what a change that makes!! Good Job!!!

Very nice! This will transform your car.

Always liked RED

Does this mean the whole thing's going to be red or just a splash of color on the firewall?

Thanks! Yeah the whole car is going to be this color; i'm going to work my way all the way around until the body work is done. It's not too bad overall; just a few spots to fix and smooth out some older repairs. Im not taking the whole car to bare metal; just fix some issues, prime/sealer over the old stuff and shoot it.

Sounds like a good plan and it will look awesome!

I'm having to take a little hiatus from the fun stuff for the nessesary stuff. My youngest son mashed his Cavalier; thank the Lord he wasnt hurt. Got him another car for school and was going to scrap this but as it's only got 80k miles, I decided to fix it and use it for work transportation. I spent the weekend swapping out the K-member and all the componants on the right suspention. Luckily the unibody wasnt hurt. Now for a fender, bumper, windshield, and airbags and it'll be back on the road.

I did get this side of the bodywork where I wanted it and got several coats on 2K primer on.

Good to hear the son isn't hurt! Guess the ol' wallet took a hit too.. but it's all good - you're still making process!

What 34_40 said! Glad he wasn't hurt and you were able to get him another ride. The primer looks nice!

Yeah cars are nothing compared to family and friends , Pat we have many blessings but family is number one .


.

Yeah, I told him no big deal on the car; Im just glad he walked away. It really worked out for me; I bought my brother in laws Grand Am for him and I put this back together for me to drive to work. I have an hour drive each way so going from a full size Silverado to this will pay for itself in gas pretty quick. As soon as the windshield guy comes over and puts glass in it's ready to go back on the road.

Did some cleanup in the garage and putzing around on the 49 today; a little sanding, adjusting the doors, got the motor on a stand and started taking the covers of to check the vitals. Im going to start on the other side this week.

Nice Red!

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!!! Good to hear your son came out of the wreck ok, should make a cheap commuter for you though!
