My 83 Wagon

Mich,
I'm glad I was able to help out a little, even if it was just for moral support. I could see that you pay extreme detail to a project. Everything looks so pristine...even more so than a new car. Nice work, my friend.

Thanks for the kind words Jack !
And yes, you did give quite a bit of info and moral support !
I guess I'll post a couple of the 81 now that I figured out how to do it !

Mich,
I'm sure our members would be just as blown away by your '81 Malibu coupe..😉

As for the window channels, you did the best you could with what was available. You won't have to worry about them any longer...they're a done deal.

Thats a strange story. The original color was Light Fern Grey. For some reason the shop had a hard time coming up with the right mix the first time around and the color was way too green. Even using the camera. They had a rep come in and try to match it and this is the color that was the closest. Its a Nissan color called Jade Grey.
Its very close to the original color and it has the really fine flakes in the metallic. Odd thing was they had a hard time getting it right again when they decided to use the solvent based Glasurit.
I cant fault the shop though. The body shop supply had a hard time mixing the SEM paint for the interior too. In some light the panels look grey but inside a building they look green.

The new paint job looks amazing! This is going to be a killer resto mod 🙂

Thought some of you folks might like to see these. Today the left side interior panels went in along with the license plate well and tailgate panel. Tomorrow Im working on the left side door panels.

Those panels look very well done man, and i like the super clean design!
