My new doors arrived today, all in one piece.......... I'm very excited to find they have no signs of rust nowhere

Only damage is where the large camper mirrors where.

daverod · 01-21-2011, 12:26 AM

Very nice.

Glad to see nothing happened. You don't seem to have very good luck with doors.

Things are changing

**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.

Thanks everyone.....A couple pic's from today

Update on Firebird..........Getting close to paint.

allaboutchevelles · 01-23-2011, 11:18 PM

Truck looks good, check out my doors in my thread I picked up for 200 dollars for the set. A Im still learning the body work as I do this on the side as a hobby. My uncle works in the bodyshop business and I have watched him over the years. He told me you should always strip the panel your working on to bare metal and then prime it with a etching primer sealer. Then you can do all your mud work on top of the primer. He was told at a bodyshop school he attended that mud on top of bare metal can create moisture under the mud because the mud is so hard and the metal will sweat and create rust. I see guys building high end cars on tv and on the internet and in magizines put the mud right on top of bare metal. whats everyones thoughts on this??? Also I use dynalight brand filler from carquest. What type filler are yall guys using?

198plus · 01-30-2011, 01:38 AM

Not much happening on my truck.........But got another ride.

I have always liked these cars, so now I have one....72 Monte Carlo 350,
700R trans, 12 Bolt........If I keep it plans are a little taller tire, Black walls, and set the car up just a little.

**Captainfab** · 01-30-2011, 02:36 AM

Nice Monte

I also like the first gen Monte Carlo's.

Myself, I like how this one sits as is.

65Custom · 01-30-2011, 05:23 AM

Nice Monte reminds me of the one I had when I was just out of High School

Glad to see the doors made it ok and were what you expected, progress

Strodder · 01-30-2011, 11:15 AM

Looks straight. Nice car.

Alan's Classic · 01-30-2011, 08:49 PM

I love that Monte. Want to trade the car for labor.

J/K

198plus · 01-30-2011, 10:25 PM

Thanks everyone for the comments......@ Alan what about a trade on that truck of yours

Well I had to do a little surgery on my truck again. I found that I had a couple stripped bolt holes in the hinges. So I decided to cut all four of them out and make new 1/4" plates and drill an tap them.....Problem solved.

allaboutchevelles · 01-30-2011, 11:07 PM

nice looking monte carlo. Makes me sick that I had a chance to buy one just like yours back around 1995 for 300 dollars. My buddy in high school had it. It didnt have a motor in but still had the powerglide trans in it with black interior, bucket seats with the horseshoe shifter and console. same color with the rally wheels. anyways nice ride man!!

Thanks, but I can't take any credit since I cut the cab apart.
