Well I had it almost together when we decided to go with the silver. It will be worth it to have exactly what I want but we lost a day tearing it down again hahahaha

Jeff McVicar

So off everything came, Doors, Hatch, Sunroof< rear bumper, fenders....everything....even the little trim that seperates the roof from the quarters. By the way Look how small the shark looks compared to My Buddy and how big it looks compared to me hahaha...... 6'8'' and 400 lbs must have some advantages.......

This is a stud gun in action, Its made in germany, hmmmmmmm. this was a dent in the rocker panel.. This a real fast tool ..no more drilling and pulling dents.. this welds a stud to the body and has a special puller. Very very fast. I had this dent gone in 10 minutes.

Jeff McVicar

This Quarter is now right were we want it to be. He even filled in the antenna hole and straitened out a little bit of the stock body shape. What I mean by that is it has just a little bit straiter coming down the quarter between the hatch and the door. It looks a little more stout filled in a bit....not enough to see it if you didnt know what to look for. It will be cool with the paint.

Jeff McVicar

And there was a couple of you guys that wanted to know about that rubber bumper repair....... He brought this in to show me. This is the real deal......

Jeff McVicar

And a couple of suprizes, This is the only time we'll see "moose" in the car and My S$ wing came in while I was gone......cooooooooool And one more cool pic.

Hey Jeff. I just recently completed my tear down, paint and reassemble project on my 81'. New windshield interior items and paint make a world of difference. I didn't get as involved as you are getting, but it was still a lot of work. Keep the updates coming. By the way, how do you attach more than one image at a time? I could only get one to post.

Jeff McVicar

I just attach the first one then cut and paste it several times and just change the picture number. Or just keep hitting the image button as many times as you like.

Yeh man I love working on this thing....after this weekend it will all be putting it back together. All of the work is nearly complete as far as getting ready for paint. I cant wait. I'm really excited about the new color and I'm trying to finalize some ideas about the Interior as far as colors go. I found a guy who will redo the seats at a good price so I'm going to go with the two tone leather to give it just a little something different. I just have to make some decisions.

By the way man Nice Car!

Jeff McVicar

We didnt get a whole lot done this weekend because we had to go to the Kenny Chesney concert lastnight, drink a load of Jack Daniels with our cowboy hats on hahaha lotta women there!! WOW. Anyway. The panels are coming along all the way doawn to that last quarter (the one with the profanity on it.) That will be the last of the body panels to get worked. Then the whole thing will get a prime, a block sand, another prime, then a wetsand, sealer, and paint. Another three weekends and we'll be painting. So I got into the interior and have been buying parts from some of the guys on here who have been a tremendous help through the whole process. We also started to trim out the pieces with the new color. I think it's going to look cool.
I sure hope this stuff isnt too boring.....just keeping a journal in the event that someone might enjoy watching it go through the facelift.






Here is the inside gettin pulled out. I was really suprized to see how thw rear seats were glued in haha I pretty much have the design for the new look in my head. We'll see if it's worth a crap

Jeff McVicar

And finally the new color... Based off of the pics of the trim/no trim pics Randy put up. Thanks guys.






Thats it for this weekend. Oh Yeh That s4 wing was a great idea too guys thanks!!

BTW - I appreciate you giving the info on the body smoother and the bumper filler, etc.

Brendan

Jeff McVicar

Hey Brendan, He just called it "rubber bumper primer" He said they sell it at the better automotive paint suppliers... Oh it comes in a can by the way. Very convienient MWAAA HAA HAAAAAAAAAAA Man I wish you lived closer so we could all gang bang your car too. Maybe we'd better see how mine turns out first ahha.

BC

So the dupont line has both the Rubber Bumper Repair and the Rubber Bumper Primer. Okay then.
Thanks,

Yeah - I am trying to get another car back from CT right now. A very tired 78

Jeff McVicar

Yeh he said Dupont rubber bumper repair but then he brought over the secret gun with something called duramix..........covert...... very covert haha. Good luck on the other car..if by any stretch of the imagination I can help you out I'll be happy to do whatever I can. I'm bound to have learned something from all this. Motor and Trans is next ...NOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. hahaha
