72 tii (Bacchus) repaint

[dubois]

Why did it take me 8 years to paint my car? It's all the bodywork and the mess! and being deprived of the car for a couple months!

Here are some pictures of the work, as you can tell the car was not very straight to begin with. The lower mouldings are being deleted to match the short bumpers. The front spoiler is history too. Bacchus is going to be straighter than factory!

Excellent Michael, she'll look great, and can be the advertisement for the quality of your shop.

Are ya gonna smooth those CF panels???? I want to see if they can be smooth enough to look like metal ones from the outside!

I am surprised to see how much filler you use to smooth the panels... very similar to what they do in Overhaulin' etc. Should look nice when its done!

Not everyone know what it takes to make those panels look right. It brings back memories, especially when I did the panel truck My elbows hurt just thinking about how much block sanding it took to get those panels smooth. I am sure it will be awesome when you guys are done Can't wait to see it when you are done

I debated about the CF panels and I think I am going back to stock with the car. The only way to smooth them is more bondo, and as you can see I already have a lot of that.
