Looks great bro! Keep up the good work.

Oh and the downtime on my car was 3-4 weeks, but I am sure you could get it done faster. My body guy is very good so he is always busy. Hell, my car has been parked at his shop waiting for paint since like last summer because of the hail storm wrecking so many cars. He is just now getting to working on mine. But for $1700 installed, painted, and blended it was a good deal. All the other shops in town wanted $2500+. But since you are going with black it should be a little cheaper. Black is a very cheap paint. Red is not . Oh well. My car will have its custom paint done by spring so I'm happy. It'll cost me about $4000, including door jambs, hatch, under hood, engine bay.

[TSTONE]

so far that paintless color change is coming along nicely

[MP81]

That's looking really good man. I wish I had the space - and another car, so I could work on my IROC more.

thanks!

so i was thinking about what rims i was gonna put on it...

i have two sets already...


or its still not to late to put the WS6's on

[MP81]

I say, between those two sets - the WS6 rims - with different center caps, of course.

[badinfluence]

[BP_Z28]

ha yea i paid for it just have to go get it this week

[badinfluence]

well after looking at the 1/4 again tonight i think I'm going to try and salvage this panel. The route Ben went is not possible since i drive this car every day and cant afford down-time

Plans:
(go ahead and tell me if these are ridiculous or not possible because i really dont know much)

front half by the door i'm going to drill and try and pull the dent out


then the crazy part
i'm gonna drill a pretty good sized hole on the corner, get a chain and pull it out w/ a tree and just bondo the rest after i hammer it out




if all goes like it should, by pulling out the lower section, the top part should straighten out mostly on its own

the bottom rear is about .25" out of line and the top is a little less than that

[Naterman35]

Hmm.... It may look better but i think you'll be able to tell that damage is still there once your done.. And make sure the bondo isn't to think because it can and most likely will chip off if its to thick.
