i did it with spray paint so it didnt turn out good.. i guess there hasn't been alot of people looking at this thread. i guess the way its at the top of the general tech page hurts some too. i will try to keep posting. i might be doing some bodywork this week end so i may add some more up.

body work

HI,Matt i am also a body man.I have a front nose piece that u could have had but i live in mass.To bad your so far away.I will post some of the picts of so custom valve covers for a gn i just got finished with.One more thing if you have the money in my 17 years experience when you strip down to metal you should go over it with ppg dp-90 or dupont variprime.you can do body work right over the epoxy primer.

i have done filler work over epoxy primer before but this was just a extra panel. i am also cheap too. i wished you lived closer too because that nose would do me some good to show people how to fix it. i would love to see those valve covers. btw if you want to post some how to work, you can it would help out alot.

very very nice work. i wish you would have did a how to on that. i bet people would loved to see how that was done. i dont want to copy your work, but that looks great. i will out of respect try not to copy it when i do another set of valve covers. so you do airbrushing too. you can add any how to anytime you want. i really need more body men to post.

i was talking about the air brushing. i call it beveled edge well to decribe it the part that makes it 3D i guess. do you get what im saying i really dont know how to decribe it.

Joe; those covers are awesome!


So here is the hood I will be repairing... the outside is in good shape(just a dent and scratches) but the inner hood ended up rusting out the inner frame rails... the car sat for so long, it ended up rusting to the point where it wasn`t worth fixing it

Thanx for the reply.i had to fix a hood just like that once.the first thing i did was sand blast all the rust but be very carful you dont hit the top side metal from underneath.you will warp it.
