Got some progress made today on the Z/28 project. Hood(top&bottom),trunk (top&bottom),both doors, cowl, front header panel, and driver fender all in primer. Interior completely removed and floor pans undercoated.

Thought i had a nice easy fuel pump job in a Silverado even with the ratchet strap holding the tank in and than I see this 🤮 time for some frame repair.

Yes i know it’s Sunday but work never waits, more progress made on the Z/28 project.

2014 Ford Escape fuel pump replacement what a joke, wasn’t a really horrible job but honestly why is there no access panel under the rear seat. Anyway jobs complete gas gauge is gauging on to the next

Its almost Halloween, but nightmare on elm street was a fictional nightmare. The real nightmare is on hickory street with this ford escape that needs a fuel pump. This requires the exhaust, driveshaft,rear differential and complete rear subframe removal. 1,2 fords coming for you 3,4 wish i could cut the floor 5,6 well this sucks d…s. Good thing i dont have any friends that own one of these.

Was able to get some work done on the 69 Z/28 refinished the grille, some door panels front and rear seats,oh and more sanding work also. its a really big job this car but I’ll just keep chipping away at it.

Start the work week off with another Chevy Cruze turbo/oil cooler replacement. Also a classic Chrysler T&C for leaking intake and valve cover gaskets.

Had this 2018 Wrangler in the shop for a new carpet installation.

Another busy day,
1973 Olds 442 came in for drive belt replacement
1970 Riviera needed a new alternator
And also a Ford Ranger in for some exhaust work.

Had a very busy week and was able to get a lot of things accomplished.
The 560sec Benz is almost totally finished.

The new seats for the 70 Riviera are installed with a custom center console.

The Z/28 had the front and rear windshields removed,front and rear bumpers also and tons more sanding work.

Also had a c300 Benz in for a broken rear trailing arm mount

Than somehow found time to squeeze in a 2013 Cruze for a replacement turbo,valve cover, and oil cooler.

Some quick updates from the week, got the hood,trunk,and spoiler for the Z/28 in primer,been goin insane with all the sanding to be honest with ya oh and don’t forget the suprises like the lower portion of the driver door already had body filler applied so something happened before it was parked also the braising on the upper door. Managed to get the final coat of clear on the 560sec tomorrow ill make sure it’s flawless and start to reassemble. Than i got bored so I replaced an oil filter housing in a Chevy Cruze.

Finished product 3 coats of Go Mango and 3 coats of clear no orange peel,no runs, one shot one kill
