1970 GTO RESTO RUST REPAIRS by 70 Humbler
Permalink  

It all started when Kevin (lueger68) told be about this great site he was on and to come out to the banner signing at Kim's (455GTO). I was surprised to hear Kim say that he had one of his GTO's for sale.  My late father loved GTO's and I had to have it.  My father and I worked together on a 1955 Chevy project and I wanted to dedicate my GTO and its resto to my dad. Thanks Kim! Everybody said, "Leave it together, enjoy it for a while." And boy did I enjoy it... But it was time to do the resto right.  It was restored before, but the paint was really bad and I wanted a car I could polish and say WOW... So I drove it for the last time this year in October to Lueger's Speedshop, took it apart, towed it to the blasters and doh omfg.gif  As Kevin said, "we cracking open a keg of snakes here." After removing all the bondo they used to fill the RUSTY HOLES we had our work cut out for us.  I ordered some body panels and Kevin and I are burning the midnight oil getting ur done.  Here are some pics an I'll keep you posted along the way...

The body looks pretty solid with only a little rust. Just doing patch panels or full quarters. What is the intended colour when finished?

It's not too bad. Kevin has experience and I'm a steel fabricator. We bought outer wheel houses, 1/2 quarters and fender patches. The final color is going to be pepper green with yellow judge stripes.

I wasn't able to make it with my beer card biggrinbiggrin This way the panels should line up with no filler.

Mike  when you got the car I said Drive it like you stole it and don't worry about door dings and scratches. Now you F*cked that all up. It better not be a trailer queendisbelief or I'll come by your house and throw beer cans at yousmile
