First off, I'm new around here so saying hey, i've been reading the forums for a couple weeks now and have found alot of very useful information that i've been able to put to use.

But anyways this is my first attempt at any kind of body work. The paint of the car in the first pic is how it was when I got it. I wrecked into a speed limit sign, went thru the nose, hit the hood and then off the side ripping the fender off.

 

Front view

 

And the money shot

 

Looking at the front pic, it looks like it's been photoshopped or something, that's just where I did really ****ty primering it.

 

I guess I'm just trying to get some feedback on how it looks?

 

umm...

much better.



lol, im not sure what you're really looking for us to say... glad you fixed it and got it back on the road... i cant really get in details and say you have a dent here, or a lowspot there from the pics..

looks nice, straight, and gray.... what color are you going to paint it?

 

Much better than the first pic Looks pretty good.

 

I wanted to paint it hugger orange, but just to get it a paint job ill prolly go with black until I get everything done with the car. This is my first f-body, and the guy that had it before me wanted to "hot-rod" it, so he unhooked this and that, and took this and that out, and not it's kindly a mess.

 

Looks good. I would take the headlight bezels off and spray them with some rustoleum black though, looks like you got a lot of primer on them.

 

Yeah, I didnt take my time like I should have so I've got to touch up alot of different things.

Also I could use some opinions on ground effects and hood.


I found some 91-92 gfx at a junk yard, great condition. The guy wants 150 for them. Is that a reasonable price?

And I found a hood I like, but I'm kinda iffy about putting a cowl hood on it seeing's how it's only a 305 TBI.

 

if its a complete set of gfx then 150 isn't that bad of a price, as far as hoods go a cowl is nice just don't go over 2" with a 305 in it

 

Nah, it's 150 just for the sides.

Also, the hood is 2" so thats cool then.
