CDN72SE's Restoration Thread

Dropped by the shop yesterday and snapped some pics, next is cut and polish to bring out the metallic and get rid of a couple of imperfections. The car is a bit dusty and under different light making the colour look a little darker. Definitely a big blue car.

Your fairly close to me I'm at 4th line and Dorval area . Who's doing the paint the car looks great. As well as the body work you've done . I'm always impressed by people's skills here .
Some of your earlier pictures I couldn't pull up from the photobucket but from what I've seen you have talent nice work ..
 
I know exactly where you are. I have the car at The Guild in Bradford, I'm very pleased with the job they are doing, they are getting ready to put the vinyl top on for me right now. Actually I can't take credit for any of the bodywork, that was from the previous shop :BangHead:.
When I have some downtime I will re-upload the pics that I lost with PB.

Do you have a thread going that I could check out?

Dropped by the shop today to drop off my vinyl top stainless trim. They said my new 20 year old Legendary vinyl top had a really nice grain and was very good quality.
The car is mostly cut and polished, was still a bit dusty. Should be ready to come home in another week.

Well the car is done but with three cars and two parking spaces we decided to widen the driveway. Driveway should be finished this weekend and I will take delivery of the car soon after. Definitely going to miss my double-car garage during the re-assembly process. :'(

Car looks great! Is that single stage paint like the factory did or base clear?
 
Quote: "We did the car base clear. This makes things easier when it comes to protecting the car, gives good longevity and you don’t have to deal with “dye back”, which is where the colour starts to fade out of it and it doesn’t look as crisp."

Wish I understood paint, lol.
