Nick Sandoval of Custom Performance Paint in Chandler, Arizona. I have known Nick Sandoval for 20 years. He started painting all of our high school hot rods in the auto shop paint booth at Marco de NizaHighback in the early 80's. He is very, very good. I'm not sure if he still owns the above shop however, you should be able to track him down. He is very well known in the Phoenix area and has been written about in car magazines.

[Chevelle-List] Body shop $ (AKA... new 69 el camino pics are up!)
Title: [Chevelle-List] Body shop $ (AKA... new 69 el camino pics are up!) I always here people talking about all the body work that they've had done. But I never here how much their wallet hurts once the job is complete. A friend of mine wanted to get a front quarter panel refinished, off of his 68 chevelle and the body shop wanted $300 to refinish it. You could buy an after market panel for that price! I'm just curious to know how much you thought you were going to spend and what it ended up being.

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Hi Wayne, The rot on the roof is actually a big problem. Ron wants me to put a vinyl roof back on because of it. I really don't want a vinyl roof though. He said he can fill it with all metal but the problem is that it can't be patched from behind. There is no room to get in there. He said that roof is going to require several coats of primer sanding in between coats to get it nice and smooth for paint. It's always a PITA to undo the vinyl roof process. Ron also said that he thinks this car did not spend its whole life in the south, because of the roof rot and how bad the left rear quarter was. I got it for $200 so I wasn't expecting a lot. It looked like it could (and should) be saved though. Another exterior piece that will need to be welded in is the sill under the rear window. I guess I am gonna replace those rear floor pans too. Then of course the big thing is that this really is the best time to take it off the frame... and I do already have the body bushings here... John Nasta Old Car Network http://oldcarnetwork.com

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List It's true. I've wondered several times in the past couple of months if my '69 Elky project might not end up being a waterloo for me in terms of whether or not I end up enjoying the car when I'm done depleting my bank account and missing so much time for other things because I'm working so much overtime to pay for it all. Right now it's too early to tell. There's still a lot to do after having spent about TWICE what I wanted to get the exterior in shape. The engine runs, but may need some freshening up soon. Then there's the tranny..., and the interior needs a few details... SO yes. Double or triple the amount of money you plan to spend, or double or triple the amount of time you think it'll take you to get it all the way you want. And you should probably do this even if you have the money. My $.02 David - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
