1968 Buick Electra custom

This is amazing! Such a perfect design it looks so damn good slammed on the ground.

 

After multiple trunk lid paint issues I went down to bare metal. The problem I found was I counted 18 layers of paint! Piss poor body work. This is the third bondo buggy I have owned. So its all coming off and I'm clear coating the bare metal.

 

You also lightened the deck lid by about 15 lbs
It’s amazing how many times stuff is repainted without stripping. I will only do a third paint job, and even at that it can cause issues.

 

Trunk lid is cleared and installed. Trunk jam area done and cleared with new weather stripping.

 

Roof stripped. What a pita that was!

 

This is going to be a really interesting/unique look!

Lolol yep!
You got a lot of real estate there

 

Removed the quarter panel trim and welded the holes. Looks really clean

 

More clear coat went down today!

 

That’s going to look cool!
I’m curious how well that clear will hold onto bare steel.

 

This clear is Tamco 4100 series. Its a Direct to metal

 

Nice!
Didn’t know they made a DTM clear.

 

More bare metal stripped and clear coated. Boy this is a ton of work lol

 

Passenger door, door jam and hinges done. Next is the firewall which will be satin black.

 

Gettin it done!

 

Starting to de-mask

 

Got the front fender done and installed. Now cleaning up the front end

 

Love big cars.nice job!

 

Looks like I'm running the skirts! Found the rubber seals for them too from Steele. Also bought the front and rear bumper corner rubber pieces

 

Just trying to confirm if the 71-76 Impala/Caprice 10 bolt rearend does fit our C body cars before I make my purchase. Any help would be greatly appreciated
