____________________________________________________________Finished Project
This great lookin' C3 Vette came to us with 5+ complete paint jobs on it with the last being straight white. Needless to say we spent long hours sanding off all that paint, 23+layers...... my elbows hurt just thinkin' about it. It had some after-market parifrials already and we added some side ground effects to it.
We cutomized the existing
after market hood to meet the owners Spec's.
That was a fun little
job.
After all that sanding,
geesh!, we got busy putting some color back on her. The owner wanted a two
tone Black on White color scheme of his own design and we did our best to
accomodate him. He let us pick the pearl for it...discisions,
decisions!
The base white received white
and blue pearl and the black received Gold and copper
pearl.
The pearl was applied with
clear blender suspended over 4 coats of Clear with 6 more shots of clear
over that. Each layer was wet sanded before the next was
applied.
The owner already had the
engine "worked" so we didn't get to do
that...darn!
The result was a beautiful
personalized '76 C3 Stingray. The owner was very
pleased......
at least that's what he told
us, LOL!
Look for his letter in the
testamonials.
You be the
judge.
This beauty has placed in
several shows already.
This is one of my first cars
when I was just a snot nosed kid of 17.
It's a '70 Torino SCJ Drag-pac
Car. It had a Boss 429 with a toploader 4 speed and 430
gears.
That baby would
run.
When I aquired it, it had been
setting along side a barn and needed to be completely redone.
I unfortunatly didn't take any
pictures while in progress, just a stupid kid,
LOL!
.................but
here's one of her done.
Unfortunately it was stolen
two years later and never recoverd.
Here's a
little '91 S10 we did for a friend's grand son. He had started the sanding
with a grinder of all things, with what looked like a "flintstone" grit grinding
disc, LOL! Needed several shots of primer and loads of sanding. But in the
end It came out nice and the youngster loved it.
The front bumper was painted
at the request of the owner but we later talked him into replacing it, thank
God.
We later lowerd it with
hydrolics and put some nice 20" rims and tires on it. Couldn't talk him into a
small block though, LOL! We tried kiddo!
This '79 F150 came to us in
primer and in need of lots of fill and rust work. We cut out and
replaced all the "cancer" and filled some pitting and dings the old
fasioned way with lead filler. We didn't use any plastic in this
one.
The owner already had a 429
Big block and tricked out C6 built and installed so we just handled the painting
and reassembly.
