This SS Chevelle still had the original paint
on it. There was a few rusted areas on the car.This car took me around
nine months to complete.
|
|
Started this long project by removing the hood
and front fenders.
|
|
I took the car down to the shop a gave it a real
good cleaning with a steam cleaner.
|
|
I removed the motor/transmision, all of the interior
and the glass.
|
|
Cut the rust out of the front fenders. Preped
them, then welded in a new custom made patch panel.

I stripped all to paint off of this car. The
car originally had a vinyl top so the lead work was rough. Also fix
some rust around the rear window.
|
|
The next three picture groups show the steps
taken to repair the rust on the left rear quarter panel. I cut out
the rust then I cut the patch panel to fit the rusted area only.
|
|
I welded the patch panel into place using a mig
welder. I grinded the weld and preped it for filler. Then I prepared
to fix the rust on the other quarter panel.
|
|
I repeated the same steps for fixing the rust
on the right rear quarter panel. I welded the patch panel into place
using a mig welder. I grinded the weld and preped it for filler.
|
|
Block sanding filler everyone's favorite past
time. Right front fender is ready for primer.

Black etching primer is used for the first couple
of coats. Then a grey filler primer to block sand on. Left front fender
is ready for primer.
|
|
Finished bodywork on the left fender and hood.
Applied etching primer and filler primer on both panels.
|
|
Finished bodywork on the rest of the car. Now
ready for some etching primmer.
|
|
Applied etching primer to the mass of the car.
|
|
Applied filler primer to the body of the car.
Block sanded and primered the body a couple times. I painted the
car off the frame during the process of getting the frame redone.
I Tore it all down, sandblasted it and painted it. Then put it back
together with new parts.

Nice new frame to slide under the shinny black
body.I painted the entire car inside and out all at the same time.
The hood and fenders were off the car but in the booth with the car.
It came out great.
|
|
I put the fenders, hood and tail light housings
back on the car. Then I sanded the clearcoat with fine sandpaper.
Took it to my work to use a nice paint booth to sprayed clear all
over it again. It was a challenge to keep this car wet with paint
while I Cleared everything inside and out. This car has no tape lines
at all.
|
|
The paint looks great as the car is starting
to come together.
|
|
Everything was put back together on this car
before giving the keys back to my friend Fred. He was one happy camper
that day.
