Paint Job on my 71 Firebird

[LeighP]

So, it's still dragging on....I'm pushing to have the car completed so I can bring it home tomorrow afternoon...before everything stops for Easter. I do not want my car locked away for 5 more days out of my holiday.

Progress pics.

I saw your car on Saturday Leigh. It's turning out very nice.  I had a chat to him about my car. Turns out the cost will be the same as yours, just an additional 3-5k to do the chassis as well.

I saw your car on Saturday Leigh. It's turning out very nice.  It's a real shame about that big scratch along the side.   I had a chat to him about my car. Turns out the cost will be the same as yours, just an additional 3-5k to do the chassis as well.

Ouch.....thats not cheap....I thought you might have been able to get out of it a bit cheaper, but Alan says he'd still pull all the panels off to do it properly anyway.

I watched the guys do mine and they are a difficult car to get together properly....unlike say a unibody like the Mustang or older Falcons etc.

As she rolled out of the paint shop this afternoon. Still a few things to be done with the paint shop..little stuff that can wait till the car is mobile and on the road.

ta-da!







And finally...at home...

that was a really good read,and really good pics as  well, I am still trying to deal with the idea of what colour to paint my next vehicle, I also have this nasty habit of doing as much as I can. My last project showed me that I can do it if I try, I am just getting to lazy to do so much in the future. That colour must really glow in the sun.

[LeighP]

Yeah, its great in the sun....the pearl metallic really pops!
