Re: My 70 LS-6 project

Here are some great pics of the body by some one that knows how to use a camera better than the bafoon typing this.
His name is Jay Doerfler and owns Auto Body Specialists in Manchester NH, A restoration only shop that specializes in all makes/models.

Jay made me have the car media blasted again and hand sanded every inch top,bottom,inside and out, leaded the quarter panel seams and even repaired past driveshaft shrapnel holes and a hole where an imbecile hacked a hole for a 4 speed with a claw hammer. (I resemble that remark) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

Any way Jay did a great job and not only is he a great friend, photographer and restoration mechanic......He is watching.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: My 70 LS-6 project

Extremely nice body for a Leeds car. Nice to see more evidence of the odd rosette red primer used on Leeds cars that I have been chastized over many times as being incorrect on the Leeds cars I restored. Nice to see it did in fact happen. Keep the great photos and progress going.

Re: My 70 LS-6 project

Wow, amazing work. I love your attitude and humility, lol, because I have been there before when I didn't know whether to cry or swear and ended up doing both.

Keep the pics coming, love it, thanks.

Re: My 70 LS-6 project

Thanks Rick,It means a lot coming from a guru as yourself.
As for the red primer just when something is considered the rule an exception shows up.

On another note, Quite a few differences in assembly practices from what ive seen in my KC, Bal, Atl and Osh built cars which are all 70's.

Also did you notice the red sprayed in material where the door hinges meet the cowl? It was hard as a rock and had to be persuaded off,almost like it was used to hold the threaded adj plate in place.

Re: My 70 LS-6 project

Mark, Thanks for the complement.
This is a labor of love for most of us that do our own work and certainly not for the loot that was consumed while doing it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

Re: My 70 LS-6 project

Simply amazing craftsman ship. I do all my own work. To see that body without a spec of paint on it just boggles my mind. I can't imagine how much time went into this step. Was that all done with a scotch brite pad? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]
