BODY SHOP
Doing body work was not my original specialty. I picked up most of what
I know by watching "old-timers" in action. I've converted most
of what I learned into practical experience by working on my own cars.
Then again, being an ASE certified Master Body & Fenderman doesn't
hurt either. :-)
The test of a good bodyman is the quality of his work. Not only must he
make the car safe and correct for operation, a good bodyman should NOT
leave any tell-tale signs that he was there. Here are some modest examples: |
MECHANICAL SHOP
Variety is what keeps one going. When the body shop is
getting on my nerves, I know it's time to break up the monotony and do some
mechanical work.
There never seems to be an end of things that need
fixing....
|
| Maybe 'Cuda Bob's other car will be next.....
|
Allan G's '67 GTX Race car needs some help...
 |
Danan picked up the Lime Green '70 GTX from Chris G ...

Should I power
MY CAR

Richard's '70 Challenger convertible (the
paint job from hell!).
 |
|
This was a '69 Charger that I did while I was "between real jobs".
Real easy considering it was the same color as the '69 Charger I used to
own.
Oh, and let's not forget the '70 Charger R/T that I started doing rust repair
on, then the owner sold the car before it was done, and stiffed me for the
bill....
This is what happens when you try to merge on the freeway with the lugnuts
on the front tire of an 18-wheeler.
4 days later, good as new.
Then again, even the best of body men just can't fix everything......
