that's looking really nice Ronnie!

Alan or Ronnie. When you sand the side panels what do you use. A long board, air inline long board, or what?

When blocking filler I'll use all air tools. When I block primer it's done by hand. On big panels I'll use a long block. I'll be posting some pics tonight I hope of what I'm using to block on my bed. I'm starting with 120 grit then go back over it with 180 as long as I don't have to redo anything. I'll prime again block with 180 then prime again and do a final sand with 400. Then seal it and paint.

I'm painting all the new parts I added to my bike. I found out if you sand through the paint into the primer or more, you can't paint over it or it will get under it and wrinkle it. You need to re primer it a little at a time to seal it. Then block it again.

It's a long process. But I'm confident it will come out great. I posted this information just to help everybody out that didn't know.

Well the Firebird went under under the knife today. It's amazing what we found. This car had already had new rear quarters installed by another shop.........

Car when we got it.....

Removed quarters.....

This is what we found, new quarters had a butcher job on them......

198plus · 12-10-2010, 11:40 PM

Very little progress on my truck, never seems to go fast enough..........

198plus · 12-16-2010, 09:13 PM

Updated pics on Firebird............Everything in place, time for some welding tomorrow.

Holly Bondo Batman.

Strodder · 12-11-2010, 08:42 PM

It probably took him longer to butcher it than doing it the right way.

198plus · 12-13-2010, 11:11 PM

Mustang finally rolling again

Jonboy · 12-17-2010, 11:45 PM

When I was a kid, my boss had a similar piece of Bondo like that on his desk. He had written "it looked good until it fell out" on it, and he used it as a paperweight.

198plus · 12-24-2010, 11:44 AM

Nothing much on my truck.......So here is the Mustang update pics.

198plus · 12-29-2010, 09:37 PM

Update on my truck......I had the frame sand blasted again, Re primed it with epoxy primer and then some satin black paint.

likaroc13 · 12-29-2010, 09:44 PM

that looks nice!

Strodder · 12-29-2010, 11:22 PM

Looks great Ronnie. Did you hang it up when you painted it?

daverod · 12-30-2010, 12:44 AM

Is it just me or is this build going in reverse.

#605 it's almost done. The frame looks sweet.

198plus · 01-01-2011, 11:40 PM

Frame done now it's time to install my Big Block

Thanks

66farmer · 01-02-2011, 10:16 AM

I see you have your engine perches in the rear holes is that going to work out ok and what motor mounts are you going to use. I'm asking because I,m at the same point as you and installing a big block.
Thanks

198plus · 01-18-2011, 11:04 PM

Worked on my firewall a little more, what a pain........

My new doors from California have been shipped.........

daverod · 01-19-2011, 12:02 AM

Where did u get the doors from.

**Palf70Step** · 01-21-2011, 07:49 AM

That is purty!

likaroc13 · 01-21-2011, 09:53 AM

those look good! just curious why you didn't use the ones you have for sale after they were fixed

198plus · 01-21-2011, 12:03 PM

The other doors turned out good but I just wanted some unmolested doors.
