Laecaon Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 So thought it might be time to start a build thread. The car is gonna be painted tomorrow(21st)!! Anyways, it is a 71 GOON. L16 3speed auto How I got it: Massive dent in the right rear quarter: Starter body work on the car last December ('09): Finally primered it: And that is how it sat for 8 months (well there was a tarp over it). I had school And now for today: a few other goodies: More oics tomorrow night. Oh and you can find all my pics in my sig. 6 Quote Link to comment

jun Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Nice job on the body! having been down this route the last few weeks, I know it's tough work straightening out a wagon. How's your roof? Mine looked like it was parked out in a hail storm. Lots of guide coat and block sanding to get it straight again. I just realized, my car came with the same head unit you have. Long lost brothers? Hmmm... 1 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 That primer wss done when I didnt know how to use my gun... Engine plans: CA18DET, but wont be for awhile. My roof is surprisingly straight. I have had more issues with the hatch. Hoping my dad didnt take the additional extension cords... Could be a problem. Thanks all! 4 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Oh and the head unit came out of my previous car, Ford Thunderbird. I ripped the stereo out of it. Good for the Goon. 5 Quote Link to comment

hang_510 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 are you in need of the strip that goes between the R bumper & body? Looks good but wheres your mask? :o Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 are you in need of the strip that goes between the R bumper & body? Well mine is all dented and rusted out. Previous owner backed into a pole or something. And I have no rear bumper. So maybe? 4 Quote Link to comment

jun Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 +1 on a respirator!!!! I'd also wear eye protection, gloves, even a balaclava spraying that much paint and clear, especially if the clear has isocyanate in it. Looks good! Straight sprayin' a full car in the open air, your neighbors weren't upset? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Still day, no wind. I had glasses on... They were like eye protection. I was shooting single stage so no clear. I cant get my right rear door handle back on :( 4 Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 youre sure its the correct right handle? sometimes ive had to prop it open when reattching... Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I got the handle on. It was the correct one. All the others were already on. As for the neighbors, I live in a culdesac. I have one neighbor immediately to the right. Then an empty field as the plot to my left. My neighbor was glad to see the car painted. 4 Quote Link to comment
