In my shop I strive for high quality repairs whether its a small job or a larger build like this 68 Coronet. Since this project was finished the concrete slab is now fully enclosed & has added more sq footage of working shop space. The car had to be straight & all fitments dead on as the car was going deep clear coat BLACK. The owner told me later he was quite happy as it needed very little filler & just high build primer & blocking.
I showed a lot of detail so you can see what my shop is capable of, also ever project done here is fully photo documented & I burn the owner a CD when done showing what all was done for there records, hope you enjoyed the build.
