Thank god its gettin warmer!Finally got some primer on her!

 

 

nobody cares!cool!

 

Awww cumon! We're all just jealous.

 

yeah,I'm totally jealous!!
I wish my 91-z had primer.
She's lucky to have the replacement panels she needs!

 

Haha!Cmon guys!I still got a whole nuther side to do!

 

I am jealous, it's still going to be at least two more months before it gets warm enough to paint around here. Looking good though!

 

I'm still waiting to get my own garage. Damn recession. Keep us posted.

 

what type of primer did you use? looks like it's coming along good and brings back some memories from last winter for me

 

I used Glasurit.Its a great DTM primer.Thanks for the compliments!

 

Okay so I have made a little progress.I wanted an SS hood but ended up with a great deal on a Sunoco hood that is missing a corner.No biggie.I got the drivers side door seam sealed and cut in and I also got the jamb cut in.Time to flip her around and start on the other side!I am so excited!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

Yeah man! Looks great!

 

Looks good. At least you are getting some thing done. Here's what my current project is like right now.

 

Damn you sure are gettin somwhere. What color is it going to end up?

 

Well she will be gloss black for now and soon I hope to add red flames like this....

 

Wow! The project looks nice. Gotta feel good to start spraying some color
The Sunoco hood is my favorite, just wish it did not have such a heavy body line down the center... think you could sand that down and fill?

Post more pics as they come!

 

yeah at least your getting some work done... mine has been sitting like this for a couple weeks now due to the cold, wind, and the occasional snow.

And i still have to re-primer the whole car.. cause that was just to make it one color as you can tell by the fenders used to be red... and the car was green... till some jerk poured bleach on it making the paint fade and peel worse than it already was. So i painted it black... with a rattle can... then sanded it and it was red/green/black .. so i settled on some 97cent spray primer from walmart.

 

Damn Steve when said you had it in pieces you weren't kidding!! Both of these cars will be nice when they are done!

 

Yeah... like most of the guys on here doing projects... i want to be able to make mine right the first time rather than have to go back and re-do it... although alot of them are tearing it down farther than i plan on it. like alot of hte guys on here have their brake booster and all the lines out of the way... i still have the wiring in the way.. yeah.. just gonna make it work.

but most of that will be hidden anyway..

But i'm using some of these guys post to help me better understand on how to prep my car... although i know most of it some of them are doing little tricks i wouldn't have thought about so its kinda cool to read through here.

 

looking good, i really really love that flame job on the vette. if you do it to yours are you looking at the same color scheme??

 

I wanna go sand and prime mine now it needs it bad....

 

Wow Steve!Your gona have a great car when she's done!
Thanks Badnblk!Thats a hell of a compliment coming from a guy with a bad azz car like yours! I like the body line in the hood though, it flows into the body line on the bumper and gives the hood dimension.It would definately be something different to see someone modify a Sunoco hood like that.
Yea BigDave love that color scheme, its a candy red.I am hoping to have the car done by end of may early June.I have A LOT of hope!Haha.

 

Well.. door is on!
Hood needs lots of fitting.
Turned her around to start on the other side.

 

Looking good so far man,gotta ask though.

Is that 4-door suburban next in line for paint? If so,wow!! you got ALOT of work on your hands.lol

I'll be keeping an eye out for the end result of this car.
My guess is that its gonna be really sweet just judging by the detail work already done.

 

White truck behind it looks like a mid 90's 4 door GMC Jimmy. I should have done this to mine this winter but time did not allow me to do so. Now I have all summer to get all the parts in order and do a complete color change. Looks good so far.

Phil

 

Looks good! Is the grass green there already? It snowed a little here today!

 

hey looking good man... mine got pushed back cause i have to wait till the 4th of april for my new hood to even ship instead of the 27th of this month plus my jeeps tranny went out so its sitting in the garage getting most of my attention.

But got some of my motor thrown together tonight... and getting the jeep done this weekend... so move the camaro into the garage hopefully next week.

 

Well thank you Timmy!
Haha!That Suburban is just an ol' mud truck!No paint for her!

 

Well Sam I didnt get a lot of work done over the winter cause it was too dang cold!
A complete color change!Cool!

Hey Steve, the grass is gettin green....I think what you see is that dang onion grass!Haha!THat and weeds!

Hey 92RsStud- Sorry to hear bout yer Jeep.
It sucks waiting for parts, but when you have a crappy day and ya come home and see a brown box at your door...dont ya feel like a kid at christmas?Haha!
Thanks for all the compliments!

 

Hell, ya shoot half the time i know when they are coming and i can't wait to get off work so i can just open the box and oogle over the part..

Even if i can't use the part for a while ya know. Like my motor parts... each one i open and examined and just stared at for a couple of hours just cause i was excited to be that much closer to my project being complete. =]

But yeah the jeep should be done tomorrow or Sunday so i'm getting pretty excited. although we just had a blizzard so i might have to wait for the snow to melt before i can actually push the Camaro into the garage.

 

Haha!oogle!!!
I know exactly what ya mean!
Do you jump around a little and go "yes yes yes!"
I hate when ya wait for a part and wait and it ends up being the wrong thing.
I waited 3 months to get a aero front spoiler from some douchebag from ebay.
In the description it said "nice, no cracks, excellent condition"
Apparently this guy was blind.When I finally got it I was excited!
Only to open the box and see that it had actually been repaired and there were spider cracks and chips EVERYWHERE!I paid almost $200 for it and Im not gona use it.

 

That's looking good, Keep at it and take your time on the final blocking!

It's easy to get excited and paint it before you've blocked it a 100 times!

 

Geez, its been a long time since Ive been able to post anything here.
We have finally finished my bf's Chevelle.Ive gotta say that out of all my paint jobs I am most proud of the one on his car.


I cant wait to paint mine!!! Finally back at my car!He finished the body work on the quarter and door and shaved the marker lightsI cut in the pass. jamb, door, and my upper rad support.
We are gona prime next weekend then block and reprime soon!
I am soooooo excited!!!! Got a few pics to share!

 

glasurit is a great product, car looks like its coming along nicely

 

Looks good man. I used to paint cars for a living for a dealership by my home. Ive been out of it since 2002. I gotta tell ya, im a little worried about doing something like this to my car, being that i havent touched a paint gun since then. Looks killer!

 

Aw, thanks guys!
You could do it Jeromey!Like riding a bike!lol!

 

Nice work! Also a ton of work. The sanding alone is brutal. I did 99% of my car by hand and it was a great deal of work/time. Then block sanding priemer=even more!

 

Still gotta prime the passenger side.Then gona block and reprime everything and she will be ready for paint.Still gotta do the bumpers and gfx.Looking to make paint by end of this month early April.I got some brown boxes due on my doorstep this week so I am REALLY looking foward to that!
Got her outside yesterday and cleaned up the bay.I was surprised how clean it came out.




Wraith- your car is gorgeous!!!!!!

 

Got the other side primed.


I also got my muffler last night!!! Tony got it all welded up just didnt get a chance to get a vid.She is really coming along! I cant wait to drive her!!!

 

Hey it looks good! Wish mine was ready for paint.

 

Oh I am far from ready for paint lol! I still have to get all the gfx's and the bumpers ready.I also still have to cut in the hatch area.
Its a lot of work but it will be worth it when she is done!

 

Finally got her outside and took a little vid of my muffler....

Gotta prime my fenders..block and reprime them..then do the hood..I should be ready for paint in 2 more weeks!

 

Wow...I am pretty much nearing paint.I have to prep my hood and wash the car again.Then I can lay out my stripe, spray that, then take her to my shop and spray the black.Im so excited.Got my income tax check to spend on wheels.I cant wait to drive her!!!!!!

 

So I prepped my hood, gave her a good wash and I layed out my stripe on the right side...gona tape out the left tommorow.I hope to paint the stripe during the week and take her to my shop to spray the black next weekend...I ordered my wheels too thanks to my income tax check...I got the RPM R-505s in the hypersilver....18x9's in the front and 19x9.5's for the back....They should be here by next thursday...then I gotta pic me out some tires!!! I am worn out but sooo excited!!!
