thank you

How are you going to take care of the primer?? Won't it get chalky. I've considered painting my car a flat midnight blue, (http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/hrf219.aspx)but I'm worried about what it will look like in the long run. Do you have a clear coat sprayed on top or does that defeat the purpose?

Any insight would be appreciated. It's obvious you definately know alot just by looking at your car.

and clearing corners, lol
surprised no one else mentioned it or maybe i post skimmed


ill send you my car too and you can do some work to it :)

oh and I likey a lot very nice work. Paitience is good trait when doin this stuff

that is a bad ass color (flat blue)


what are the color plan for the striping ? burnt orange would look nice on the gray. you just letting the striper run with it work his/her magic ?

well the primer i use is ncp 271 by ppg of course, as the fading the chaulking it would take yrs for this primer to show any sign of wear and tear
i dont plan on driving in the snow or rain, so it will be all good no worries no problems
all i need to do is wipe with a wet chamios, or towel, and iam all good, the stripe color well iam goin with the " oldskool" name, colors are up to him, he can do his magic, but i do have updated pics from tonights work

Tonights Update
 

tonight glass gy installed my glass for FREE!!!!, my matco guy scanned my car found out i need a new battery no biggie
i finished installing all the weatherstriping, and mounted the tail lights
all thats left is mount and balance tires, new exhuast, wheel alignment
and i will wire in tail lights tommorrow night

Stickers off back window and it looks MINT! ;)

stickers stay

stickers rule all!!
looks sick! whens stripin' again?

all thats left is mount and balance tires

got u covered. :)
but i want a sticker lol

TIRES BY KEITH :) hahah

i like the sticker personally.....and looks great, can't wait to see it all done.....gonna have to talk to you about some custom plastic work on the front bumper.......

woot. only thing I see wrong with it is (wtf happened to the brake lights? lol) the gap between the body and rear bumper cover..

other than that.. bad ass.

My wife just said she got wet!!!

kieth iam goin to call u tommorrow, the caddy lights are my brake turn and running lights, nothing wrong with the bumper cover at all, or rear body panel, it could be the angle i took i made the deck lid to be different and not flush with the 1/4 or bumper
have to see the car in person to appreciate it

wow!!! didnt know it has that kind of affect on women thats good for you isnt it?

Yes it is!! Looks dam nice bro.

sexyy

What no Aleromod sticker....just wanted to raz you...looks F'in Sweet

the back end looks sooo nice.. then the front, is really plain. why no improvements there?

actually.. i agree with Cher... why no work done to the front end... it looked soo amazing on the rear.. and the front is so blah

Maybe he drives so fast the back is all you'll get to see...

the front bumper is shaved, i love the clean smooth look right now the cars body lines just flow, but next spring i will make my own hood
or when my striper does his magic it will look a bit better

I admire the time you took to get all of this done, looks good overall. I'm not too fond of the tail light decision, however it's totally unique compared to anything else out there. I would have chosen something a bit more modern. What made you go with that setup? Like the old school caddy look?

i love the ole skool look, and why go with something modern??, then it wouldnt be different, like is is 300 lights why???, everyone does them, a custom car is about being different, not being the same
the frenching is different its not done too often on a car, then the classic french

I was telling some of my buddies at the shop about what you were doing.....then i showed them some pics..... THEY LOVED IT. whoever doesnt think this car is hot, well.....something is wrong with them ;)

Another Update!!
 

well i wired up the tail lights tonight and it looks amazing!!!
drove the car on the road for the first time since 2005!!!
it needs alignment, but it rode great, i cant wait for saturday to come
wwhhoooo hhooooooo

i can understand the clean look, but with how much work is done on the back end, it just seems like the front bumper needs a little something... just to fancy it up a tad.

the hood will help, but it will also further accent the fact that the space under it is nearly stock, still.


just my opinion though.

i see what your sayin, are you sayin perofrmance wise?? it has basic mod`s, bigger t/b, rk sport intake, and full exhaust, it looks cool it does get up and go, but i have been fast, so i love the car love the way it looks, and when its striped it will be the cherry on the cake

I knew you were going with the caddy lights, but I don't like how the holes look in the pics.

Kinda hoped you had lights going to fill the whole hole.


mind you, the car is complete sex, just don't think the holes that is around the tails work.

hey bdyman....i was looking at the qtr panel and i was wondering if i had to replace mine, would i have to cut it and fit another qtr panel in? Cause our qtr's run all the way up into the roof......so i would have to section out part of it and weld in a new one....right? idk if im explaining it right, ive had quite a few drinks tonight... hehe

meadus101; you apprently dont know custom body work, it is called frenching, but i took the term french and opned the pocket, its something you dont see done allot by body men
there is allot invovled in replaced a 1/4, its not as easy as it looks and sounds, iam not going to crap up my own thread with a how to remove and install a 1/4
2nd i could never teach you online how to do something like this all i can do is tell you what is invovled

http://prod.goodwrench.gmgssm.com/gm...ual_1857KB.pdf

That should cover it.

i want it i want it i want i WANT IT:p

ahhh, ok. Thats a good link right there..... I was just interested to see how i would change the qtr. on our cars since it looks like its all one piece

wow that some uninormative file there, what about removing all the other parts like glass and the interior, bumper rocker moldings
does it tell you that i-car wants us to do a open butt with backing joint?? nope
does it tell you that panle bond and pillar foam needs heat to come off?? nope, does it tell you that the seam sealer has to be removed to find all the spot welds?? nope
does it show you how to weld?? can it teach that?? nope
does it tell you that when the 1/4 is back on all part must go back on to ensure proper body lines??? nope
does it show yhou how to put the car on a frame rack clamp it down and pull the damage first?? nope
does it tell you that inside the window frame you never ever apply bondo becasue window urathene does not bond to bondo??? nope
i rest my case

court adjourned........

so much for that ! :lol:

haha bdyman<3

some of that is common sense..... that book helps some, but obviously its not going to teach you everything. Pulling seam sealer back to get to welds, not hard....and if you drill out all the spot welds and its still holding then i would hope your smart enough to know that there are some under the seam sealer. This book isnt about frame racks, it doesnt show you how to anchor it down...if people wanna learn how to pull frames, etc. they can go buy that book. This book is all about basic things, where to locate some stuff......thats what i was looking for;) I already know how to get it on the rack, pull seam sealer, weld, etc:rolleyes2:

well your in my thread asking about how to install a 1/4 but yet you say you know how to pull frames etc.....so lets stay on topic

striper comes in the morning, pics later in the day
