HA! You call that a skim coat??
No, that’s just the filler work. I’m just getting started on the skim coat before poly. :wak
I’m hacking this one up in style. :whistle:
It’s one beat up pile.
Bloverby thank,s for the pics.I glad to see I,m not the only one working on junk!!The work looks great, can,t wait for more pics as the project goes along. :cheer:
That’s the filler work you’ve been speaking of? That’s it? Sheit, Why are you skimping on the filler ya’ cheap bastard. :rofl
I see you have the same multi colored filler work that I do… Bondo says he can keep all his coats the exact same color. I call bull…

:pcorn:
bloverby:
what grit did you use to sand the car initially?
nice work!
I used various styles of clean and strip disc for most of it, with some help from a 50 grit disc on a high speed sander to quickly dig out the old mud work.

What the Heck you so Ashamed about? Its 1000% better than the 1.5 inches that was on it before!
I think you did a dang good job with what you had to work with.
You took a $2-$3K car and are making it worth $15-20K easyMaybe so, but once I have slap on a third smear of filler in one area I start feeling guilty for some reason. :blush:
Sometimes you just gotta go the cave and pave route no matter what though. :whistle:
Where you getting these big ones from and what are you paying for them they work good but are hard to find big ones at an affordable price.

Benchmark Abrasives Ebay Store.
I paid around $60 for a box of 10.
I’ve been using the 4 1/2″ ones that chuck up to a grider alot lately.

Thats not a bad deal at all
I would like to find some bigger ones for the small electric grinder or a elcheapo variable speed grinder I think that would work well for stripping.Sadly my friend that owns this Chevelle lost his battle with cancer. I’m still chugging along on it and will finish it the way he wanted it done. Hate he didn’t get to see it finished.
I hope I get it into primer soon. Kind of starting to look like a clay model. Tough to pick a place to stop while making one of these old things a driver.
