The Paint Job

OK, who said sanding door jams was lots of fun? Actually, it wasn't that bad, especially when you get to use power tools! The boys at Redwood had put in a lot of time sanding the outside of the car, so it was our turn to get in there and do some damage.
Finally, we get to "The Paint Job". It's time to pick a color. Maybe in one of these blogs, I'll show you all the paint schemes we tried out on paper. From black, or white, or to the Gulf GT-40 colors, and everything in between. Let me tell you, a four door Chevelle does not look that good in baby blue and orange. Being that we're headed for Mexico, something red, white or green seemed appropriate.
An all white car, humm... I don't think so, all green,... please....no. That leaves red.....ahhh red, rojo, the color of Ferrari - rosso corsa, the color of passion, romance, sex. Also the color of fire and blood, but we're not going there. So much symbolism in red, I could go on and on, but let's just say, we painted the door jams red.
Next the body, hood, and fenders were done, and voi la! All finished.














It sounds so simple, nothing to it, but just doing a bit of the sanding, I know it's a ton of work. And here it is, truly, a gorgeous beauty!
I can't thank all you guys at Redwood Auto Body enough for all the time and work put into our project.






Now the car is back in our hands, we can start collecting up parts and moving on to the next phase. And the next phase would be.... the whole enchilada.
