Paint Job on my 71 Firebird
LeighP:
Ok...so now they've got the door cutouts and cowl sides clean, and the lower body.....car is looking pretty good.
Not bad for a 40 year old, eh?
Door have got their first coat of primer on them.
LeighP:
Found another old repair...bottom of the LH rear quarter and the bottom of the back valance on the same side...seems to have been an impact repair rather than rust...it's been roughly pulled then filled over....so that'll be another fix.
I came in today and the shop owner (Alan) had spent a lot of the day file finishing the roof and correcting small defects in the panel.....old school stuff.
Heres the LH fender where it had been poorly repaired and filled up....
All in all, when I see what some guys are going through repairing cars, I'm pretty happy with what we've found.

You are so lucky to have an old school panel beater working on your car. No rust helps too. Good topic, keep it up. Eddie

Showing a fair bit of interest there Eddie....just tell us the truth...you do love Pontiacs, don't you :lol:
By the way Leigh....Greeeen is nice!
LeighP:
Yeah, green is nice.
Interestingly, when I dropped in to talk to Alan and have a look at the car, Owen Webb had been in the shop as he's an old friend of Alan's. He heard what colour I wanted to spray the car and he suggested to Alan that he drop around some House Of Kolor samples....apparently, Owen has been trying to get Alan to use HOK paints for some time.......maybe I'll have to see what those HOK colours look like....I still want the same green - I'm digging the hue. lol.
