Robert's 1970 Chevelle at Roadster Shop

[INTMD8]

Looks like a really nice car. Love the color combo. As a 70 Malibu fan, I'll be watching this one.

This should be good as I'm also a 70 Chevelle fan I can't wait to see what you guys do to this one!

It looks like its a nice car. 70 is a nice body style.

[Che70velle]

Yes, it looks like you guys have a great starting point. Can't wait to see what you guys do with this one!

[HEEP]

Wish my name was Robert. Oh well, maybe next time. Of course this one needs to be subscribed to. How many can we do that to?

Famous last words.... We thought it was going to be a real nice car as well.

This is what came back from the acid dipper.



At what point during this incredible metal work do you think this guy thought to himself..."Yup, I think its ready for paint!" It is amazing how something that looked as good as the original car, could end up like this. We looked the car over pretty well before disassembly and had no idea of what laid underneath.



What was left of the wheel opening and outer wheel house.


There wasn't a wave, a bubble, a sand scratch, a shrinkage mark... nothing anywhere in this quarter. the trim fit nicely all around the convertible top... no signs of what was underneath. Oh well, nothing that an entire parts catalog can't fix!

WTF....?!! Rest assured though, this baby is in the best hands possible.

That's all I can express on that.

The dippers pulled a fast one on you. That's incredicble - in bad way - the before and after.

I wonder if that guy just wrapped up the trim in tape. Put down a bunch of filler and pressed that trim right into and pulled it back off before it was completely hard. Then just sanded to the indention....Always wonder how some of those guys do that.
