Mike,
I'll have you know that your car is a slick one! Damn thing kept trying to slip off the trailer on the way back. We had to readjust 2 or 3 times....in the rain. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

It's always nerve wracking when Scotty is in strip-down mode and he starts using this guy: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
When he switches to this guy: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) . . Don't look. As usual, nice stitching on the flare! Go, Scotty, GO! |

Roll bar was coverd in straight libne scrathches from someone in the past hard blocking it...yet somehow it was still far from straight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I did all this with only a mudhog and got it flatter and more properly contoured then the p.o. did with a block

The plan on Mikes car was to repair the rear 1/4's, smooth the body out a bit more and repaint. Once these bubbles in the hood and trunk were looked into it became clear thet lids needed to be completely stripped. I'm guessing that these are a result of a past chemical stripping that wasn't properly neuitralized (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Scotty,
When you replace the rain gutters up front. Do you replace a whole section of the u channel...weld the ends to the exiting? How do you grind it smooth in the channel? Dave |

How do you grind it smooth in the channel? Dave Honestly it all depends on the customers budget, how extensive the damage is etc. I've had times where I made a small section from scratch and welded it in, times when I have cut a length out of a donor, and times where the owner didn't have the funds to repair properly so I cleaned it, backed it up with some chrome tape, and wiped J.B. weld over the holes then primed it. As far as grinding down in the channel, the first key is to get a nice flat weld so there is minimal grinding, then there are a variety of ways to get it ground. Flap wheel on a grinder, a 80 grit roloc disc will flex enough to get it done, a die grinder with a tulip cutter etc. I usually cut most of it down with my cut off wheel then clean it up with some other method |

I do understand that our deal is a bit of a moving target but I'm not so naive to think that a surprise or two won't cost me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

You heard him, Scotty. Time to up-charge! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Those breast implants are as good as yours! When can you come to my shop for the install?

Pics not taken include stripping all of the edges on the car, stripping the wheel well lips, stripping the rear trunk channels, sanded down the front fender, sanded the pass door sill blah blah blah. Hood and trunk lid get stripped bare tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) I still have a little bit to do on the rocker patch. The piece of metal I had was just shy of filling in the whole hole, So I will make a small strip to fill in thsat lst bit at the top. I have the passengers side all body worked and ready for primer. Still a little "fine tuning" of the body work on the drivers side, and the front trunk channels to deal with
