Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Tweet

Thanks guys. Now I am pretty confident that at least mine will make it. GOT THE BODY BACK FROM THE SHOP THIS MORNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't be happier with the results, especially considering it is gloss black. I can't say there aren't a few little nicks, like on the dashboard, but I could care less.........for what they had to work with (inexpensive fiberglass body), and what they charged me ($ 1500.00, plus I tipped the painter and body prep guy) I got a heck of a job.

I'm so glad everyone was pushing for shiny vs satin, it is just going to look so much better and more finished. Now I just have to undercoat it and it can go onto the frame for the final time (I hope) I think I have to take the grilleshell and headlights to them too, because there is no way I could ever get them as glossy as the rest of the body.

Don's body should even come out nicer, being that it is blue and won't show as many flaws as gloss black. Couldn't wait to post these pictures.
