Working Away

Wheel Wells

BTW, this is some of what arrived.

This is after the stripping.

Thanks for sharing. You're living the dream Coz! I wish you much success!

Hey Coz, how much is a bare metal restoration like that? Not everyone will even do one and I am having a hard time finding someone willing to take her all the way down like that.

Hey DeTom....

It's a lot of work and time. Not to mention a major mess.
I have probably 24 hours alone in the rear section with stripping and painting. The POR-15 ran 120.00 just for the paint alone.

The front trunk and front wheel well area is next. I will have another 12 hours in them.

So total is about 36-40 hours at 55.00 an hour. Right around $2200.00 complete. It's a lot of time consuming work.

Here's another car we are working on.
Before and after of the brake and coil over upgrades. Haven't done anything with stripping and painting the wells yet.
Before fronts.

Fronts after.

Rears before.

Rears After

Radiator upgrade in progress.

Thanks Garth...

Coz, are you booked solid or do you take walk ins? My car would require more than just stripping, but rust repair as well. I know it is a huge job.

Hmmmm, my car might be headed your way next summer.

You can't stand it Bro! I like the wide radius 90's coming out of the radiator. Good to have you back...Bill

Always have room for a brother DeTom....

Bring it Robert. You know I have a soft spot for GT5's.

Thanks brother Bill. Great to be back...

Coa, You call that work? Each and every one is a labor of love! Any details on that radiator? Is it a Fluidyne?

LOL Husker....
They say a man that enjoys his work isn't really working at all :-)

The radiator is a Ron Davis Radiator. They are here locally and make the best custom radiators I've seen anywhere. Fluidyne's are also great radiators as well and I've used them in the past. But I like the fact that Ron Davis is here locally.

Thanks Coz. I am either going to trailer my car out to you or sell it for next to nothing, one of the two options. Haven't decided which to do yet.

Let me know which way you decide to go DeTom :-)
