lol^^ i'm actually a great driver cause ive been around cars n stuff my whole life so it must be in my blood

Heres some pics of the first bit of work ive done on the car...it had a really bad patch job on some rust holes when i bought it
Before


During


After

not bad for my first time ever doing body work

 

nice job

 

thanks i was pretty glad the paint i had matched pretty good...does anyone know the color of white that was used in 81???...the car has been repainted once but the guy might have used the original color...

 

looks way better than it did, did you get to the rockers yet?

 

No the rockers are in decent shape at the moment the next big thing will be the piece of metal where the truck hinge sits because water will run down my rear windshield and down into that little spot and sit there and rust...it needs to be cut out and im going to replace the piece with one from a trans am

 

great car im alittle older than you not by much just dont let your friends con you into racing on the street like i used to and still well nvm bad habits dye hard but the strip is the only place to race unless you like to road race in a closed course my first hot rod was a 1976 f100 with a 460bb boy that thing would FLY but getting pulled over going 140 wasnt too good lost the truck and cant get a dl in north carolina for 7 years LOL BUT IS SURE WAS FUN

 

Is it the piece that is right bellow your rear window or under the trunk lid? And i wasnt sure about the rockers, i thought i seen a pic of them with some surface rust too?

 

Yea its the piece that is under the trunk lid that the hinge is welded to...its not visible from the outside...the rain pours down on to it and sits there so the rust has almost eaten through it and it is making my trunk lid sag a bit but it shouldn't be too had to fix if the pieces match up........
and there is a tiny bit of surface rust on the rockers (just a few bubbles in the paint that are probably little pin holes in the metal)

 

hah my friends dont have anything that can even contest with this car... closest thing would be a v8 dakota...so there is no point in racing

 

Not just your friends to worry about though.When i had my last camaro i would get somebody messin with me every time i drove the car,especially the mustangs and ricer cars,although i even had a guy in a ford mini van try to get me to run him from light to light,pretty obvious who would have won that,but it was funny that he thought he had something.
