Well were just going to let it go, get it al ltogether and wait till this summer. But I gotta make a couple 3,000 miles runs this summer and will never have the time. Plus my father is a well known painter, and everyone knows me, so put two and two together and it makes both of us look bad.

What basically happened is the overspray created these darkish black spots everywhere. You can only see them at a certain angle but it sucks. I have a few choice words for the shop we painted it on, but I won't say them...

Course everything has to happen after I spend a shitload of cash for insurance, registration, and tags for this beast...


So much for a $500 car

Thats not the point! You've got a completely rust and dent free car, and the experience behind you now too... Never a waste of time!

thats true! had the same when rebuilding my motor for the Delta. laerned a lot, and still learnin here! ahhhhh, hobbies......

Never said it was a waste of time


Anyways, we got everything paint wise done, and...well I'll just show a sneek peek...

looks mean... gleaming, happy oldsmobile!

wow 87delta, I took a look through your album at the finished product. You guys did a great job on that car's body. The paint is cut so smooth, you must have sanded for days... Great job, you can do mine anyday!

Thanks dude! We sanded forever! The body is slightly wavy on the passenger side, but it isn't noticeable to the un-trained eye. And I think the passenger side may be Buick doors from when it was wreaked a while ago

And I'd be honored to do your car, except I'm 3,000 miles away I can't tell you how difficult it was sometimes. I bet I used the F-word over 500 times working on this thing! I'm happy with the final result though.

And I'm going to kill that bird who just shit on my car. BRB, I'm getting my BB gun...

You are experiencing the satisfaction that comes from doing it yourself.

It's feeling those who might write a 5 figure check for a similar job, will never know or understand.

I know there's a lot more involved in your project than any pics can show.

Good job.
