paint and body

well ive stated the rescue work on my 85 gs last week and now im looking for some ideas on body mods. if anyone has any ideas shoot em to me. so far ive shaved all emblems and the sidemarker lights. i still need to figure out what else i may want to do with the rear between the lights and id like to do the sleepy eyes with some hellas but i have not seen this on 1st gen car. give me your pics of any mods i will consider doing them. i dont care for the widebody..its fine for some i just prefer a more subtle look.

So now ive got an understanding of labor time and material cost i can confidently tell yall i can paint these cars for @$1500 and thats lifetime warranteed DUPONT choma premier two stage (base/clear) and i will stand behind the workmanship. this is the price for a straight car not requiring any bodywork or color change. if your intrested im in north houston TX. and my # is: 713.992.6350

modifications, graphics, color changes and replacment of or straightening any of the car will add to the cost but since i am an independant shop, i have a very low shop rate($40/hr) give me a call and we can work with a fella a bit. if your budget is tight, we maybe able to put you on a payment plan.

Shaded Paint Job?????

If you are a professional painter, you should be able to do a much better job than I did, but the effect was interesting and got a lot of favorable comments. I painted my GSL-SE bright silver on top, shaded to a dark charcoal metallic on the rockers.

very nice stable ! i am impressed with your craftsmanship.
i think ive played some cards up there around carnation. lived in WA for years.

ya i am an owner of a paint shop along with a few brothers of mine we paint cars and do some customs here and there. currently we have multiple projects('63stude,'55delray,83camero82blazer) of our own and more and more custom and restoration bids. we specialise in refinishing however weare all car nuts soit has become more than a business we live for this stuff man.. our projects include the afore mentioned rx-7 im doing i bought this car for a customer and then he backed out so i am going to have to refinish it i will have the car up for sale as soon as i can.
