69 Firebird Build

[formula98]

Hi Phil,

My project is a 67 Camaro. Your guy is on the other side of the States I think the shipping would bite. I need both R&L quarters. I'm told another week or two so lets see. I'm out of town for another week and a half. I gues I can wait.

I just spent the day with Astroracer and now have enough work to keep me busy for a few weeks anyway.

Thanks and I wish I were where you are at now, but am glad I didn't find as many problems when I removed the paint. I knew I had to replace the Roof and possibly the quarters. I could probably live with them, but really don't want the bondo.

Thanks again,

Ron

Hey Wayne- Thanks for the compliments. I have been very happy with Tony. I also recently heard about Mike's Customs, but have never spoken with them. Being so close to NH, you may want to give Tony a shout just to see what he can do for you.

Roger - I hear ya about the stickers. Still undecided, but most likely will be removed. I assume that they would look pretty beat-up after some mileage anyway.

Hi Brian - Any pics of your car? What size garage you building?

Ron - I think Tony charges a flat $99 shipping on all Goodmark orders under 150 lbs. If you get in a jamb in a few weeks, he may be a good back-up plan 4 you.

I think I have decided on the Platinum with Silver stripes (like the Ford GT) for paint. It will have the Trans Am stripe lay out.

I should get the shell back on Sunday, then it goes to the bodyshop for seam sealer, primer, and paint. I am only having the underside, firewall, and jambs done in final paint 4 now. The body will stay in primer during the rest of my build. I have 2 children that like to "help" in the garage and I would be nervous about the paint.

My subframe is gloss black and I was considering having the shop paint the body color (platinum) on the underside as well (I have decided on a 1-color engine bay: firewall, inner fenders, and rad supprt all in silver). Besides showing the dirt, any other downsides to doing the bottom of the car in the body color? Would it look like crap?

Phil
