1969 Chevelle body repairs

No question about black's reflective capabilities. Has the owner seen it yet?

He came by today and I asked if his glossometer was pegged. He seemed cheery  but was discussing some low gloss underhood stuffs when I walked by cracking wise.

You don't need to call me to assemble it. I might fall down walking in the room and splatter blood everywhere. That needs young guys that can see and have steady hands.

We have a gore / barf mop, come join the fun

I have been using twenty-somethings to hang doors. They hold em while I bolt em and usually by the time a door is secure, we both have an anxiety sweat going. I'd be a nervous wreck at those times if not for my collision repair experience. Right now my new 7/16 + 1/2" ratchet wrench is missing so I hope I find it before hanging doors.

I put doors back on today, no worries.

I usually keep dudes outta my shots but I just like this pic... tell me which is a glass man and which is a job rodder. They are dry fitting the back window here-



Looks like the windshield went fine...

I get nervous just looking at the pics.

The multi-tool and belt buckle of the guy on the right might give me fits if that car were mine .

I agree with Chimp...^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So you gentlemen neither wear belts nor use tools when you work on your cars?  

[chimp koose]

Not one painted so nice ! I'd be scared to fart next to it , might lose its gloss .

  I both use tools & wear a belt when working on cars .. When working on show cars or street rods, the buckle is moved to around my side rather than in front & my needed tools are on a bench next to where I am working .....I also have been known to wrap my belt buckle in a roll of my shirt....

If what you guys are trying to say is that the glass man is on the right, thats correct. For me, tools go on the floor because they can't fall off it and my belt is one that can't scratch. Mindset is the important part when caution is called for. The danger is not in standing on the edge of a cliff, but in being unwary there.

HeHe, I have enough  "overhang" the belt buckle is a non issue!

[idrivejunk]

Didn't get far today. Mainly just messed with emblems, discovered parts issues, and stapled splash shields. You'll love this though... upon removing decals and cleaning the new windshield... a defect was discovered on the glass. Under two layers of stickers and with buff marks. So its coming back out.
