1:1 '81 Monte Carlo WIP

[Guest Mustang3.8]

Hey, y'all.

As many of you know, I have been working on my 1:1 '81 Monte Carlo, getting it ready for paint. I have already patched three rust spots on the car with Bondo. I have also removed the fender badges on each side. I plan to have all sanding on the bondo work done on Sunday and hopefully get it painted Monday or Tuesday. I will be rolling the paint on with a foam roller. The color will be Satin Black with a flat black griil. i'll get some pics posted ASAP.

How is that dent coming along (or out)?

[Guest Mustang3.8]

Still have not gotten the dent out, Rodney. I think I'm just gonna paint over it.

[RodneyBad]

At least ya gotta try and Pop it out.

If ya had a pic of the dent, we could see how Plausible it is to pop out or not.

Besides, taking out the back seat get net you some loose change

I tried using my toilet plunger, but it would'nt stick to the metal. I don't wanna pay $250 to have it pulled out, and I don't wanna drill holes in my fender, either.

Try to push it out from the back. If the inner fender well is in the way, you can drill a few holes in that.

Put some vaseline on it to help it seal.

Well, spent a huge part of today sanding down the bondo work, and I sanded the gloss off of the old paint. If the weather is good tommorow, she get's her new color.

i don't see anything different. where is the "mags" and the satin black paint?

Dave

Dave before you starting being a critic, Kevin asked me to post some BEFORE pictures.

[Railfreak78]

Thanks for posting the pics for Kevin. Does he have any newer ones? I talked to him in the chat trying to figure out how close to the body line and door frame frame the dent was. Interesting 2 tone on this MC

[Nick Winter]

here again you rushed things and goofed up. how are any of us supposed to know that, all we got were some pictures of a car an no explanation

so now we know we are looking at the "before" pictures. looking forward to seeing the "after" pictures

Dave

Kevin asked me to post them, nothing else.

[Nick Winter]

come on Nick, i find that hard to believe. in your exchange or conversation with Kevin he NEVER told you why to post the pics or what he wanted them posted for? i thought he was your friend?

Dave

He is Dave, his exact words were "Nick, can you post my pictures of my Monte in my 1:1 WIP", after finding only those I asked "There aren't any new pictures" and Kevin said "I know I haven't taken any yet"

[Guest Mustang3.8]

Thanks for putting the pics up, Nick.
