whats the paint that you use?

its kirker paints,the one im using is a basecoat clearcoat.

now it was time to begin the block sanding of the fender,thats the fun part,very time consuming but very important part of the process,as i knew it would still need alot of work to get it straight.

so when it felt like it was getting really close to straight i applied another 2 coats of 2k primer.so now it was ready for round two of the block sanding.this time the fender came out really straight,so onto the door jam.

Nice progress!

Your Z28 looks in very similar condition to my T/A- but yours is a bit more solid it seams. Looking forward to watching your progress.

You're making short work of the body work! Love it! It really makes me happy to see the two restoration projects going on with the 2nd gens.

yeah i checked out ur resto project,i love it,very nice car.cant wait to see it finished.

[bad436z28]

so now onto the rear quarter panel,wich is in awesome shape no rust holes at all,or any bondo anywhere,havent found any bondo yet.makes me feel a little guilty using a guide coat of bondo in oplaces to make it completely straight,so i sanded my quarter panel with 180,then 400 grit until it was all smooth,then layed my 2 coats of 2k primer down,the paint that was already on the car was still in good shape even after 33 years,amazing it was just faded bad,probably could have buffed it out and made it look ok,but really wanted a blue z28.i got a steal on this car its in amazing condition and picked it up from a freind for 500 bucks,him and his son were gonna restore it,then his son decided he didnt want to,and the guy really needed the money,so now the passenger side is completely in primer,and havent found one spot of rust yetor havent found a single spot of bondo repairs that made me really happy.its amazing the condition for being 33 years old,the car was mosty only used for drag racing with just the stock engine,even has the air and heater delete already done,plus it was kept in storage for over 12 years its originally a texas car came here to michigan 5 years ago.
