Time for a shave.

hey lookin good man, wanna do mine when your done? lol

Soooo tired of stripping paint.
Only have the jambs and bumpers left though... then it's primer time.

^^Looks like you got a decent amount done.Nice progress Sir.

You are the dude who built the roll down paint booth correct? At this point it seems to be all bundled up just catching dust? Kind of defeats the purpose right?

Probably, lol. Some ideas don't work as hoped. I've figured out that I think it'll restrict air flow too much after painting a few things without it and making a really nice haze in the garage even with a handful of fans going.

And teh point to stripping all the paint is? Scuff n shoot that *****.

I don't want 3 layers of paint on the car.. just seems ghetto or something. Plus when I strip my stuff off it comes off no problem and leaves jagged edges. When the DA eats through the factory stuff it doesn't flake off or anything.. just seems like a better more stable surface so spray onto if I do it this way .

Uhhh ohhhhhh Yellooooow


.



Primer turned out all tiger striped because the primer I was using was so thick and the gun just didn't want to shoot a decent wide pattern with it... it's all gotta get blocked anyways.

Here ya go dawgggg. I need more free time to finish

Lol.

Sanding has always been the vain of my existance. I stick to electrical (it's FAR less tedious.... )

Head Unit/Radio upgrade!!! I agree!!

What color are you going to paint it?

i envy you. I got a Diamond white PA Ultra. STOCK well 2 child seats in the back.

I dream of the day I get to start on it. Yours looks SICK.

update?

Update or ban!

Okkkk. I've been busy, so I've only sanded down the primer. All the way to 800 grit, and thank goodness it's over. I've just gotta clean it up and shoot paint. I'm gonna order the paint this friday, and hopefully shoot the following friday or so...!! I already have my pearls in the mail for a little something special.





In the mean time I put straight pipes on the Monte Carlo.. a plugged cat (that was 33 years old.. holy crap) required an entire new exhaust in my book

That pics during mock up, so they're a tad far out, lol, but it's the only pic I took.

I was gonna say...whats up with you and those crazy exhaust tips! lol

Progress looks good

i love watching your work come together

They still stick out a lil far.. just like the Buick

Ok. I've got some wetsanding to do. Me and clear don't work well. The positive part is that the clear layed out good (good enough for me). The bad part... I got a little heavy in some spots. Hmmmm, I think I can fix it.

Ack!!


Purple pearl coat..



Lets play find the runs..

looks awesome, glad to see it all finished. well almost.

Looking good!

Eeeee

Looks great man. You paint it yourself, too?

Door jambs and everything, sweet. It looks good in photos, hows it look in person?

I think he has a factory Buick embossed trunk liner,but I guess he hasn't reinstalled it yet.

Looks great Clutch. It looks like you have quite a bit of overspray on your exhaust tips though. Take care of that Mr.

It looks great in person.. except for where the pearl ran a bit on the blue (people told me it looks like lightning now.. sounds like a good excuse, lol).

I've got a fiberglass piece for the trunk with 6x9s and 7" TV, and also carpeting, but I'm thinking of just fiberglassing my piece onto the carpeting and making it all one big piece and painting it white.

The exhaust tips are just super dirty, haven't been cleaned since like July probably, hehe.

very nice job

Just a question...is the spacing on your hood/headlights wrong?

It seems like the passenger side has a lot of extra space at the bottom at the headlight and the driver side has extra room on top? Maybe its the picture angle.

No, it's missing the foam under the bumper on that side, took it out when I pulled the bumper to paint and I think I might've thrown it away, lol.
