Ezequiel I would like to do candy red over gold, but it could be difficult without a spray booth.

The ugly side lights are going. I cut out some steel rectangles, welded them in, and ground the welds flat.

Yes guys, it's a solid ex California car. There are a couple of holes on the bottom of the front fenders which I will be repairing, other than that it is all solid.

Did an experiment with on a scrap panel with candy red over gold and silver while I had a spray gun out.

I finished sand blasting the trunk lid and gave it an epoxy primer.

Some original 1970 Camaro gold paint.

Next, the trunk lid. Lots of paint on here on top of the original 1970 Camaro Gold - primer, silver, primer, blue, primer, black. So I switched to 50 grit discs to get the worst off, followed by 80, then 180. Then I sand blasted the last couple of coats off. It took about 6 hours to get both...

I got the rear panel down to bare metal, sanding with 80/180 discs to get the worst of it off, then doing the fiddly bits etc with my sand blaster. Then primed with epoxy.

I stripped a sill down to bare metal using 80 grit then 180 grit discs. There was a little surface corrosion towards the rear of the sill so I sand blasted it clean, then treated it with rust killer. The bottom of the rear wing had some perforations. I tried filling them with weld but then...

Ideally, I'd like to repaint the car in candy red. I experimented with some candy paint today on a scrap VW T5 panel I had. The panel was silver. I quickly painted an area in satin black to see what the candy would look like over that and the silver. I gave the panel 5 coats of candy red and...

I'm doing a bare metal respray and I've started to strip the paint from the bodywork. The first panel was the front scuttle under the front bumper. I used 80 grit and 180 grit to get a majority of the paint off and then sand blasted the hard to reach areas and went over the whole thing too...

This weekend, I sand blasted and painted with epoxy the last of the suspension parts

Rear ladder bars and more suspension parts sand blasted and painted with black epoxy, 2 coats.

The car has got AVO rear coil overs and Fox shocks up front. They were all in pretty good condition but I refurbished them to make them better. On the rears, the red anodising was scratched so I soaked the parts in sulphuric acid to strip the coating and then machine polished the aluminium. I...

Bit of filler on the rear axle to get it perfect

More sand blasted rear end parts and all sprayed with 2 coats of epoxy.

I sand blasted the rear axle today. It took all day as there was a lot of paint on it, various colours over the decades. It's a shortened 742 Chrysler 8 3/4" unit. I'll be taking it apart, cleaning it out, changing the seals for new ones, then spraying with epoxy.

I sprayed some cavity wax into the chassis today as a preventative measure. It's all solid, no signs of any previous repairs or even any surface rust.

Thanks, Scott. Yes, there's not many cars like this over here.

I finished sand blasting the chassis and floor pan and painting with black epoxy
