[quote]Canuck,thats a nice looking car.About what year is it?Not many volvos around my part of the country.[/quote]Sorry for the thread jack :hij: , it’s a 1966 Volvo Canadian (technically – only Volvo would have a car that goes by at least 3 different names). Nothing much is stock – just to have a little fun, here are some of the metal finishing parts.
I spent a couple days smoothing and painting the engine.

Everything else is powder coated.
This year I have to finish the bodywork and paint the rest of the car.
metal finishing is an art form .i believe every dent is simply locked metal .study the damage carefully and find the key to reverse the damage and things move amazingly well.use the wrong key and it becomes a lot harder to repair i like the phrase ;metal whisperer ; that seems to sum up the process . i use this every day on the smallest dent to the big stuff . unfortunately with some of the new metal today , replacement is inevitable and more cost effective and structurally sound .sadly enough it is a dying art form, so when giving the opportunity , pass on the knowledge and long live body men….. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
