1Bad454 Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 Here's the car getting loaded up and then at the body shop. The body was in outstanding condition but the body shop recommended media blasting it to make sure that there wasn't anything hidden underneath. If I had known better I would not have had it media blasted.. Reason being is that it brought me back to square one which takes 100's if not 1000's of hours to get out of. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Bad454 Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 I want to give a big shout out to Dennis Tretter and Dan Janes for sending me pictures and helping me make sure that the black areas specific to a 71 SS were painted correctly. Not to mention all of the other tips and pointers that they've helped me with. Being a part of this club has been a huge value and benefit. 😎 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marks71 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I’ve only been a member for about 6 months so I wasn’t aware of your project until these most recent posts. Now, about 2 hours later I’m up to date and looking forward to future progress reports. Awesome awesome work by both you and the others involved. Great media coverage too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Looking Great!! Looking at the taillight areas reminded me of when I had my 71 (non SS) repainted in the 80's the area used as a reflector for the light bulbs was sprayed black, like my car. When all finished I noticed the taillights and turn signals did not look as bright as they did in the past. I removed the lenses, saw the black paint, sprayed that area white and the problem was solved. Just thought I would mention it for anyone else who is interested. I wonder if silver was used when built? I remember spraying flat black on the lower area of my black 71 Monte. You can't really tell since my car is all black, but I tried to keep most things correct. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
