Satty's got cancer...

Well, a few more hours and lots of sanding, and here is what i managed to cobble out of a rusted frame and a filing cabinet.....

 

[mr340]

Managed to get a little more done over the last few evenings. First I decided that the cheap side moulding had to go. Pulled the piece off the QP to find it was hiding the original side chrome mounting holes :wtf:. :hmmm: What to do with those little buggers... I know...eliminate them... Sounded like a good plan, so off to work I went. Filler in the ones on the QP, and it looked good. So, off with the rest.....bad idea.... there are 21 of them bastages on each side!!! Oh well guess I'll trudge on....
here is the results... Before :

During...

Well once you get it all smoothed out why not shoot a GTX stripe down each side? Just lay down some black and then mask it accordingly before the white goes back on. You can black out the door pillars to finish the fake out.

welder broken? :huh: Rich.

 

[mr340]

After... I'm thinking of leaving it this color and just shooting a clear coat over it.

Hey, Rich, I don't have gas for the welder, and I'm too lazy to do all that grinding, besides, if I decide to reinstall the chrome, I'll still be able to get to the holes...

OOO KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK................... If you say so. Good progress regardless.:bravo:

OK, coat the back with something waterproof(don't ask how I found out!!!!!!!!!:dgt: )
On the clear wont hurt to shoot a small section & see what develops, I still may do the 73 that way if my body work sucks too much! Rich.

This is how it will look after it's cleared... Waddaya think?...

 

[Fishy]

Personally I kinda like it. Then again I'm weird with colors too
​

 

[mr340]

Actually, it looks better in person, You can see a nice shine to it, and it doesn't look like primer after the clear is applied. I'll try to get the car outside for some better pics sometime this weekend ( if time allows).

 

[mr340]

Got started on the other side to find bondo in the fender, and wrinkles in the QP, shouldn't be too tough to fix

 

[mr340]

Did shoot some black onto the door pillars to see how it will look, and I think I'll keep it...

 

[mr340]

Got to playing tonite, mostly because I didn't really feel like actually doing any real work, so I put some color on the hood... Wadda ya think, should I keep it or do something different?

 

[gomopar440]

Looking good! I like the black on the hood there. Yup!

 

[beeper*71]

Are you going all black or a primer/black combination? I like the way the hood looks and the clear coated primer works also.

 

[mr340]

I'm going to leave it primer/black, I think it looks pretty good like that. Sometime in the future I may change things some, but for now I;m just playing with different ideas as I go along....

 

[gomopar440]

For some reason I'm thinking the tail panel area would look better with the colors reversed. Black in the middle with the red primer surrounding it.

You sir are correct, but that is what every one else would do. If I was going to go back to white, I would definately do it that way. Besides, the
P L Y M O U T H stands out berred against the black as opposed to the red... It's gonna be a never ending project, so things might change in the future anyway

 

[gomopar440]

I don't know about everyone else, but yea, that is how I would do it with those two colors.

If it were mine though the whole thing would be flat black. There's something about big cars all blacked out that just screams NASTY! In a good way of course...
