B5 is always a great color on B-bodies!

we have narrowed it down to a blue similar to the original(UU1),or 1 other color that I am not yet at liberty to divulge. Either one will look good.This is a driver and will be driven far and often so it will be chip guarded and undercoated,not a smooth as glass showcar.But boy what a nice solid body and frame.Car is from Roanoke virginia.2 owner 318 machine.New engine and trans on standby, 416 maybe? time will tell. In the meantime it looks like primer should be starting to flow this weekend.

great work! I'm partial to F5 or F8, but the trouble with B Bodies is so many colors look great on them. I'd say stay close to the original color.

OK- here are some pics from today,finally got some primer on it.now i need to scuff this primer which is dp-90 epoxy primer and put on the heavy fill slicksand primer for blocking.hoping to get it painted in the next month or so.

first coat of the epoxy...

It is good to see it all one color only if it is just primer...

one more. Need to make a final choice on the color cuz it looks like jamming parts is in the near future.

Looks really good. For a minute there, I thought it was painted. Get to picking that color my man.

another ...

been scuffing the epoxy, so i can apply the high build primer.then i ran out of energy quick but here is a quick couple of pics...

Great progress!

Well well, it looks like my old Sport Satellite is now a big family project, and it was a big surprise. I did shed a tear the day he dragged it out of my garage in New York . . .Now I thought he might put some cheese in the quarters over a flattened Coors can like he discovered in his 69 Super Bee "BEE QUIK" . . . And I might even have been satisfied with a good "rattle can overhaul" . ..And if I had known what he was up to, I would have cut the cord off his compressor before he whacked off both ENTIRE QUARTER PANELS! It would have scared me to death, but not Chris. . .So now that it resembles a car again, I can breath again . . . .haha, and I even forgive him for all the times I found my wrenches in the lawn with my lawnmower! Some kid, and many thanks to all my kids, and all of Chris's friends and all of our friends here on Moparts . . .Now if I can only keep him from losing my 318 for a 440! ...Hey, gas is expensive ya know!

Hello Mr Jones,I can't believe he didn't tub it and turn it into a race car.I wish he would come back upstate for a while ,I lived in East Nassau and helped him restore a 70" road runner that turned out great.I have a 68 Road Runner sitting in my garage that could use his talents on.I hopefully will get to check out your car in person when it comes back to New York.Dan T.

You are a lucky man. You have to be a great guy. It shows you are a great father and have raised very un-selfish children. Your son is doing a terrific job on your car. He is very talented.

OK - Got the car taped up last night and in the booth ready for the Slicksand heavy fill primer,thanks to 2 of the painters at the shop who had mercy on me and did it before they went home.I was very glad for the help...

another- got some in the jambs this time too...

the heavy fill primer,called slicksand went on this morning.A gallon gave one really thick gooey coat and guide coat on top for blocking.

let it cook out in the sun for about 2 hours - it was about 97 here today.
