I am getting there, I still have to polish the chrome trim, bumpers etc.. Armor All the tires and I have to put the GTO rocker trim on the doors.
Here are some updated photos, it started to get dark quickly, couldn't finish everything. I will try to get it all done tomorrow.
The last photo is when I first got the car, before I put the GTO parts on it.

The car really does look good. Great job.

Sweet looking ride! Congrats on how she turned out.

YVEYANT · 11-07-2007, 07:30 PM

Thanks so much guys,
I put the GTO rocker trim on the doors today. That trim makes it really look tough.
I will post some more photos tomorrow when I can take them in the daylight.

Here is a before and after of the original 326 and now the 462:

wow! looks nice.. the best part about doing it outside is theres plenty of light.. I did two cars outside, but now I do them in a garage, now the neighbors cant smell it a block away..

I love those M/T Valve covers....

Ant,

I read that you used PPG paint, was it a BC/CC or something else? I have been debating painting my 68, it has a BC/CC (prior to me purchasing it) on it and the clear is beginning to check real bad on the doors and rear qtr panels. Like you many of the quotes I have received have been over 8k. I guess like others have said here, how bad can you mess up?

Jagtec1 · 11-12-2007, 06:40 PM

That looks great! When are you coming over to do mine!

The Hood, Header panel and engine bay are a two stage. The rest of the car was done in a single stage. I have to be honest. I cannot tell the difference and quite a few body men have seen it already and when I point it out to them they start doing that looking on an angle dance and not one has said he has been able to see any difference. I will say this to you though, if you mess up, the two stage is a lot easier to fix than the single stage in regards to sanding out the drips etc... I knew I could spray as I have done parts before. If you have a good feel for your gun, go with a single stage, if not you may want to dish out the extra bucks for the two stage material.

No problem Tim,
Hey like you said, how bad can you mess it up. Just have some fun and go to it. I am sure it will turn out great.

P455 · 11-15-2007, 08:02 PM

WOW, that's one nice looking paint job! Congrats!

That car could be my car's sister... I have a Mariner Blue '67 Lemans that I need to start the paint/body work on. Thanks for the inspiration.

BTW, do you still have the original Lemans grilles??? If so, do you want to sell them?

Mike

YVEYANT · 11-15-2007, 10:26 PM

Thanks so much,
I do still have them and they are in great shape but a few of the tabs are broken off, but nothing that can be seen while in place and I do have them. They just need to be put back on with some plastic epoxy.

P455 · 11-16-2007, 09:35 PM

I sent you a PM about the grilles.

Mike
