derrickdj1 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Just sanding them made them look 100x better. These might turn from an ugly ducking into a beautiful swan. We will watch this drama as it unfolds, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Great work. Would have been fun as Schu mentioned above to keep them looking the same, but refurbished the internals. They would have been real sleepers. Love the old cars that are left with their patina and have all new chassis and drivetrain. Enjoy your great find! What are you going to drive them with? Believe me, if you saw them in person, there's no way you would keep them the same. Tough sledding today....getting down into the recesses in the front is difficult. No power sander will fit down there. So many more corners and odd shaped surfaces on the LS's...Cornwalls are a breeze compared to these! Just a box. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL You don't have 1/4 inch of paint to get through and when you do there's a bunch of filling to do. Amazing what a thick coat of paint can cover Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanm84 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Jim Your dinged knuckles and sore hands from hand sanding are appreciated. A testament to the quality veneer hiding out under the layers. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
