Finally, my own LeMans body and paint thread!

[Wildmani]

Been a long time coming, but I'm finally able to start a thread about the body and paint progress...
What it looked like when I first bought it

When I first dropped it off at the shop after my own preparations

What it looked like when I stopped by tonight

Doors getting some work done

Some of the various patches being worked on

That's looking good. With that progress it should be ready for spring with no problem...

He said he might have it done by the end of March. And it's not the only G in there, notice the mid 80's Regal in primer next to mine

It looks like they are good fabricators. I wasn't sure what car was besides yours, it looked to me like it might have been an A body cutlass

Good luck, looks like a nice car that you started with! Keep us posted!

Nice!!! So glad to see her being restored. You've definitely got a keeper there.Two door coupe, rear wheel drive, V8, pre-electronic era, thats what I was looking for, when I found my LeMans. Still love working on it. Enjoy!! Looking forward to following your thread.

I think it's a good sign that the shop isn't worried about you having a look and taking pictures. It shows they are not trying to hide anything. Alot of places take short cuts and hide stuff.

 

[Wildmani]

Not only that, but he's taken pictures as well and will continue to as he goes just so I don't miss anything. He's going to give me a flash drive with the pictures when it's done.

Wildmani............Looks good! I've been there, welding in panels. You will not be sorry, by doing it the right way. When the car is painted, you will know what's behind the paint.
