Low quality pics from a shitty camera but you get the idea.

Got all my bin rust fixed. and the paint turned out pretty damn good. a few imperfections here and there but overall, quite nice.

Oooh, that is beautiful. I've always wondered how a 1st Gen would look in silver. I like!

Looks awesome, that was the look I was going for with my stock body, but it was going to just be too expensive to get done.

Thanks. he did a pretty good job matching the factory "sunbeam silver"..........

Nice Did you ask for the side molding to be left off?

Alex-7

yessir.

Max7's car and this silver one are the two that convinced me that no moldings was the way to go.

Here's how the faded biatch used to look.

I was never a fan of removing factory moldings. I thought it devalues the car, "unitl i saw you pics!". I think the car looks great and more modern without the moldings, great choice for the car.

gmanuser

nice nice how much did it cost you?

Alex-7

I think I got a good deal. I went through the guy that does alot of stuff for my work.
I told him what I was after and gave him all the time he needed.

I got all the bin rust fixed proporly with new metal welded in, lots of wet sanding, several coats of factory paint code base, and several coats of clear for $1600.

Thanks for all teh kind words.

it would look better if you put the pin-stripin back on to highlight the major body lines

I agree with the pin stripe. Put a thin black one on the top body line.

That looks great! My plan is to evantually paint my car the factory 83 limited edition silver once I get all the body work done. I was also debating to side molding or not ...and I think my mind is settled on no moldings. Nice car!

Alex-7

Been thinking about pin striping again.

I kinda liked the red one it had when I bought it..............

what did you do to have the wheels refinished. i have a SE project that is about to get going and i am looking for a place to have my wheels refinished

Alex-7

Not yet. They are in very good shape though.

I'm going to have them redone at some point (I love SE wheels and want a perfect set!) I'm also in the market for a place to do it at the moment.

spoolin

ahhhh ok. i was thinking about having mine chromed but i saw the ones on here that a guy had done and although it looks kinda neat, im gonna stay with the original machined look

very nice, good job. I kinda like the look of no pinstripe, the car has good lines on it's own.
