Fixing the Full Monte after being attacked *UPDATE 9/22)

[pontiacmaniac94]

So yah, dad was driving his 97 monte last week, and had to make a u-turn, so he decided to use someone's driveway, and moving rather quickly in reverse, he backed into a mailbox. Here is the result.

 

So I am workin on filling it all back in, and I also happen to have a brickyard style spoiler we are going to be throwin on.

 

He is doing the spoiler and paint, and I am going to be doing the bodywork (its nice having 3 days off a week)

[RobertISaar]

[jeremy]

[Imp558]

That must have been one sturdy mail box.

yes, i just put down a massive layer to begin with, so i can have somethin to work on.

yessir, I took a wheel to it, and tore into the paint, I don't any pictures of that, I was more excited about gettin it straightened out then the camera

 

ooooooooohhhhhhh........a 1.5G SS........

 

LOL, or it could be an LS with the "L' replaced with an "S"

That must have been one sturdy mail box.

Yah, thats what he said, did a real number on his car, and nothin on the box.

[pontiacmaniac94]

This is after the first day of sanding. I have gotten it filled in about 75%, now for the hard 25% of feathering that will take place tomorrow (its nice only working 4 days a week) then hopefully had it ready for paint either this week, or next. Dad is pretty pumped that the car is turning out okay. Any suggestions?

It's looking good! My only concern is matching the paint when the time comes to respray that part. Seeing cars that have obvious patch jobs irks me.

patch job?? patch job?!?!?!

 

LOL.

I will paint the entire length of the quarter panel from the door jam to the back. I have the tape on the side so I don't get too over zealous on the air sander

[Garrett Powered]

are you rage'in it or just bondo?

[pontiacmaniac94]

ragin? wat? I don't think so, just going to push out as well as I can, then fill the rest with bondo. it won't be perfect, but it will be about 232x better than what he had done before, I will have some more pics up tomorrow or sunday, depending on when he gets paint.

What he's talking about is good, quality body filler. Not none of that auto store Bondo crap.

[carkhz316]

Before everyone flames you about how to do bodywork, just a wee tip. Don't paint over any solid permanent marker lines. It can and may bleed through believe it or not, or at very least show through without enough paint over it. Otherwise, good luck and have fun!

you know............. it sounds kind of ricey, but maybe that would be an interesting way to custom paint... without actually more than one color of basecoat.

 

just draw on the primer or filler, spray it, and see how it comes out...

That looked like it hurt

'hhmmm...I will have to look into that for whatever next project I have.

Yah, I am snading down past that point anyway, I was putting it on there for when I was "roughing" it in.

Well, and I am surprised, i figured he would have stopped long before he went that.

I will have new pics up tomorrow when I work on it somemore.
