Body shop pulled it in today will keep you all updated on progress as much as possible.

 

Nice, keep us posted on her progress man

 

nice!

 

some disassembly pics

 

good stuff man

 

definitely keep us posted, what part of maryland are you in and what shop are you using? if you dont mind

 

Nice! Looks like you are going for a high quality paint job. Can't wait to see it completed.

 

Going with factory color. I don't know too much about paint work but I heard they do good work and that was my main concern. Hopefully they deliver. I thought the car deserved to be painted. I only paid 1200 for it with 79,000 on the clock. That freed up money for paint.

 

Well, the fact that they are completely disassembling it is a very good sign. It should look better than new when it's put back together.

 

Do you know about how long it will take them to finish?

 

I am not sure but I am thinking before the end of the month. I told them to take their time no hurry.

 

Awesome man post up some pics of the progress.

Looks like they are doing it right, hope it turns out killer. Never tell a shop to rush, but never tell them to take their time LOL

 

I said the same thing 04/04/12 to my body shop,and they still have the car

 

The owner told me today they should be painting it next week.

 

They not going to take hatch off too?

 

Hatch is coming off and other door also.

Total price of job will not be known until completion but will be about 5 times as much as I paid for fhe car. Bright red is the color the body shop looked up for my car.

 

Nice. Love the 1990 IROC.

 

Update more paint pics

 

Reassembly

 

As of 5-17-2013

 

looks great!

 

Thanks, all pics above are before color sanding and polishing. They have been color sanding and buffing car for the last couple of days and it is really starting to look good. Car will be getting striped soon unless someone talks me out of it. I thought it would be best to put car back to its original form because it is so close and I have other non-original vehicles that are perfect candidates for modification. The only parts to be replaced during body work: all weatherstripping (gm), mirror gaskets, all emblems, parking lights, windshield and striping. Definitely could have gotten the job done cheaper but was looking for quality. Hopefully it pays off if not I'll know better next time.

 

Coming along really well,looks very good.

 

Looks good man

 

As of today buffing complete.

 

done

 

Wow did they did a good job must have being a pricey paint job too though but worth those results!

 

Looks really good.

 

well worth it. I had my doubts, but am very pleased.

 

Looks great!
