Chapter Two... Body work
Posted: 29 Jul 2013 14:49
I had our step son over for a couple of weeks recently and I came home from work to find some damage to my car.
Apparently, he said he had left the garage door open and some gas had come out of the cap and ran down the fender. Instead of leaving it alone/ rinsing it with water, he opted to take my orbital sander with a buffing wheel I had on the work bench (I was planning on buffing out the car over the weekend) and "buff off" the gas.
Now, without going into any detail I was now put in a position where this had to get fixed.
Sooo, into the body shop she went. I'm having this completely redone, the rear window removed and re-sealed with new clips and all the small dings/ chips and other little areas fixed that we managed to do by accident during those months/ years of rebuilding this car.
The process is going to take a couple of weeks and when she's done- she'll have a fresh coat of paint and all new decals including the hood blackout.
I will provide pics of the progress and finished (2nd time) product.
Aah...the joys of kids.
