Mr. Brownstone - 69 PT Camaro

[Richio1]

Well we missed the goal of paint by the end of the month but I do have confirmation the car is in the paint booth. They were massaging the gaps last week and I was told it was shot with the sealer today.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed it gets shot this week.

That rendering is awesome.
Looking forward to seeing it come together.

your guys did an awesome job on the firewall! hopefully we can start prepping my firewall this weekend.

We're getting there.





I also have a buddy here in Napa who started his own powder coating business and is hooking me up.

Just got these back. Look awesome in person. Hard to get a good picture of a black door handle.

Looking good Jeff, but lookimg at the pictures I see you are missing the trunk gutters on both side for the qtrs?? It's what holds the weather striping in place?? Unless you guys came up with a different way to hold them in place, you will want those on before you paint as the are body color.

Huge step Jeff! Can't wait to see some color on this baby. I'm sure Paintgod will make her shine

Well how do you like them apples. Thanks for catching that. The deck lid had been on every time I have seen the car since the qtrs went on 33 months ago so I never noticed.

Travis, yes they can panel bond them on but two issues with that, first the channels are painted body color and second panel bond is designed for shear strength, the issue that I world have using it in this application is opening and closing the trunk all the time. It might not fail or it might. Don't get me wrong panel bond it very strong but does have its limitation.
