Re: 1968 Chevy Bel Air Wagon Project

Slow work, this paint stripping. It took some time to make a hole in the garage
wall and build a system for evacuating the dust too.
The drivers side is done when it comes to paint stripping. Most is sanded down
to the bare metal, and finished with 180 grit for perfect paint adhesion without
risk of shrinkage into the gritgrooves.



The front fender is dented, and this will be adressed before the epoxy goes on.
The severely dented, shrunk and hammered hood is also ready for epoxy.



I'm assuming a lot of filler will have to be used in order to make the hood look
like it's supposed to...
Detail work is done according to inspiration. My aim to make the wagon look a
bit nicer than just your usual respray, so details like nice paint inside the filler
door feels important.
The chrome is pretty much shot on this car, but I hope to be able make it
look tidy anyway.
