Amazing work Sam! Great job!

CHP #8337
You are doing some fine work there Sam! Really impressed.
I looked at the tail light pics & the video and think the white painted buckets do look brighter. Keep it up! Bruce |
Looks amazing. Really nice and keep up the great work.

Keep up the good work. You'll be driving that '85 down to Ripon before you know it! :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone:)
A couple more pics:D http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_3213.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_3435.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_3526.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_3741.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_3742.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_3743.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_3744.jpg Hopefully it will be going to the frame shop in a few weeks to fix the passenger rail damage and tweaked RH inner fender/radiator support. Then I can start getting the engine bay prepped for paint:D |
Why my car will be going to the frame shop.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_5086.jpg Notice that someone had heated the frame rail to straighten it. http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_5085.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_5090.jpg Needs brakes and some rust cleanup http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_5087.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_5078.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_5076.jpg Then I changed the wheels today so that I can get the Steel wheels powdercoated:D http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_5107.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_5112.jpg Casper should go to the frame shop this week once another car of my dads is finished. Then when it comes back, it will be stripped to the metal and body work started:) |
New video of paint removal;)

Picked 8337 up from the frame shop yesterday:)
The shop owner said that the right front frame rail was pushed down and to the right. He also said that the frame rail was an inch or more from where the it was supposed to be:eek: But everything is straight once again. Just have to do some finish work on the inner fenders. Some pics:D http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_6545.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_6547.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_6548.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_6553.jpg I swapped wheels once again. The chrome ones I put on got swapped to my "new" 85 convertible. I put two more urethane wheels on. Once I get another, I will strip the urethane coating off and have the wheels re-hooped. They will be my second set of 85-6 steel wheels. One set will have correct General XP2000 tires and the other set will have normal driving tires. http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_6592.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_6593.jpg Which is which?;) http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...IMG_5066-1.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_5067.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_5069.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_5068.jpg http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_5070.jpg And my "new" 85 convertible, my P71, and the 85 CHP behind the P71:D http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...7/IMG_6589.jpg |
Things have been going kinda slow on the SSP lately. Here is a little update for the thread anyway.
I have the interior dye for the plastics, so redying the interior will probably be next. Need to get some more of the SEM gray paint for the rest of the trim, then all that will be finished. The equipment is all cleaned up. Side mirrors cleaned (not the housings). Dash hull will be removed for cleaning and heater core replacement. Gonna pull the motor and stuff off of the inner fenders and firewall. Pressure wash entire car (try to strip most all the white and clean everything). Remove doors, windshield, rear window, and side windows(in doors). Sand ALL the paint off (not on the under side of the car or what is in the interior area though). Straighten all the body panels to perfection (body work):D Prime everything. Sand once again. Final primer(if needed, then final sand). Paint the roof and doors. Mask the roof and paint all the black (I will even try to replicate the factory "dullness" on the trunk jams and the under hood area). Sand and polish paint. Re-install windows, detailed engine, wiring, and interior. Install equipment and wiring. Put body panels/trim back on. Decals!:D And finish minor details. Hopefully the car will be in paint around the end of March. I kinda got carried away with the update LOL |
