It's been a LONG time since I was here populating my thread. For like the last 3 years I have done nothing to my car. The last month or two got back busy on it, cut off all the crappy metal, put it in my just made rotisserie for the E body car. I just blasted it, going to put it in primer...

And the other pic

And the Challenger Doors...

Rarely do I ever spread body filler, but, today I pulled my Doors back out of storage to apply filler to the lower sections over the repairs rendered. Reason was I'm doing another 69 Camaro and I finished up widening the drivers side qtr panel IAW owners wishes. BTW there is not much 'room' for...

This thread, and this car is exceptional! The detail is OCD and that's what is required! My hand salutes this level of attentiveness. Sadly, all I see on these cars is them in their raw form, and then freshly media blasted then off they go. The exception is James' 1970 Challenger which I'm...

As long as you have enough air volume you can bring down the psi and then add a soft media and you'll keep the texture.

I've been jamming on James' car and certainly establishing my own E body methods and procedures for when i get to mine. I won't be repairing many panels especially if new ones are available!

Wonderful thread! i have a 70 Challenger and it too is B5

Hi. theres a lot to know and depends who is around you - run from sand. fire questions away! or visit my site drblast.com

This is how an E Body should be media blasted folks, really, you need to have your car done this way -- it's the only way to render these cars complete and have a good starting point.

If you're not having the car media blasted, you are throwing good money away and you will not have a quality car, I promise you this.

If you did it all yourself the complete product would be sub-par. Farm this or that task out to experts. I tell everyone that's the way to do it. Like when Joe Blow decides to do his own upholstery...like LOL!! I've been working next to the best trim shop for the last 11 yrs and I now know...

NOS? Good luck! in 1980 Chrysler scrapped all their NOS stuff in structuring the govt loan bailout and their corporate focus on the K Car.

I always media blast the inner structures on these multi tiered jobs; the initial media blast makes the roof skin worthless - not from the blasting process but the process finds the rot and decay. Customer then hires me to do the metalwork, cancerous metal removed and then second blast then...

James has had a huge Rubber meets the Road revelation. He now wants to sell the car, but, the car needs to be finished to make it desirable to sell. When he was layed off I sat on the car and stored it at no charge to him for like 18 months, the last 6 months or so I had to store it outside...

To compound this repair, (this is James' car btw...he has a thread here My Car My Way on this very car) is this Roof has been hacked apart and basically removed before by DEA goons searching for drugs when this car was a mule. So, there is a lot of activity going on! The A Pillars were not...

Harvey is bringing a lot of rain to San Antonio area, but, our fellow citizens in Houston are getting hammered - hard! I've got a friend who is giving me updates every few hours -- soon she and her family are going to be abandoning their home due to flooding! It's really really bad!

DynCorn makes the entire section which is probably the way to go but those parts always are critical on alignment after the fact of installation. But thanks! I'm getting LOTS of rust repair surgery lately!

The pink paper is the templating for new metal coupons, which I've made. Here's a few pics. This is a labor intensive process to make this stuff by hand with compound bends and curves so had to make multiple smaller pieces and fit them all together. I used some red rattle can primer to 'hold'...
