Well Kent, you said it would be about a year and a half to finish. You're already a month behind. Let's pick up the pace. I want it, I want it, I want it! Obviously kidding. With the amount of work my car needed, I thought you were out of your mind on the timeframe. I knew my car was in the right place, and local too. You kicked ass. Now you have me wondering whether to have you start on the other one. Thanks for all you have done thus far. You're doing my car as if it was your own. Thanks for the attention to detail.

This first pic here is of a different dash. The goal was to copy the paint as factory. I also wrote the body number under the dash in my best German handwriting.

Final blocked and taped off for undercoating and paint on underside, trunks, pass. comp. engine comp. The orange tape comes off after undercoating and before paint, it's covering all the holes so the undercoat doesn't blow through. It's Orange tape so I don't miss removing it.

Undercoat. I tinted it to match the color of the factory undercoating. For this car, it will be fully painted orange and none of it will show though.

Looks great as always!
What undercoating product did you use? Can a paint shop tent it for you of did you have to do it in your own shop? |

It's tintable bedliner. I matched the color and bought a pint of toner. I beleive most brands of bedliner have a tintable kit and you can tint it any color. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Kent, to do that amount of work in that time frame is amazing. I've seen resto threads with less work taking numerous yrs. Just make sure the customer is worth all that effort. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

I'll go ahead and answer for Kent. He would say, "this customer is definitely worth it, the best I've ever had." And I would say, "go bump your nuts, Dave."

wow that looks fantastic. nice work.
my only concern with the bedliner coating would be a) excess weight and b) hiding rust in the future. But both are probably very minimal concerns. |
