Hi all,
I have a 69 Chevelle SS that I have owned since 1991. Over the years it has been daily driver, weekend toy to low 11 second street car.
This past February I decided to give it a full body job. I stripped it myself as I was too curious as to what laid beneath what I knew was a lot of bondo. Don t get me wrong, the car was quite clean and always got a lot of compliments but it was really a 20/20 car.
So, once stripped, there were holes everywhere. Poor jobs from the 70s (brass welds) and patch work that would look good only only a quilt!
So, it got all new full 1/4s, fenders, door shells, rockers, outer wheel houses & drop offs.
Below is how it looked before, during and at the latest stage, smothered in its original color...LEMANS BLUE!
Next steps are to buff out the clear and assemble. I ll update when complete. In the meantime:

After (still neds to be buffedéwet sanded):
