I hate repop fenders...

[Beauford]

But what you gonna do....I figure gloss black and some welt an the dairy queen folks wont notice. LOL

[JDupuis]

It looks great to me.

[Beauford]

Thanks JD! I needed that....glad this beer can metal is flexible. In my next life I want to be a body man and a machinists.

[Jeff/Illinois]

I think they look good too!

[Mitch]

Rusty is looking good

Congrats

[Beauford]

Just waiting on a real painter.....

[Mitch]

Is the paint stripped off or the pic makes it look that way?

[Beauford]

Fronts are bare and body is wet sanded with 1500 grit.

[tbirdtbird]

Yikes!!! Beauford, 1500??!!
To be ready for paint you only have to go to 600

We do a ton of body/paint here, don't be a stranger about asking

[BNCHIEF]

Tbird Beauford is going for fine point.

[Big hammer]

Not enough tooth for the next layer too stick, it will peal like a bad sun burn.

Looks tits...paint them up brother,find someone who shoots good base/clear,a high volume shop..you don't need an 'artist who specializes' you need a cat who shoots paint 8 hours a day.I try to get to the prep and paint guys and juice them a few bucks on the side,goes along way.

[Beauford]

I'll juice'm good. My neighbor owns a restor shop and gave me a hell of a deal on 2 coats PPG and clear but the vehicle needs to be inside so his floor space goes to the '72 Porche or the other old car they are doing a full ride on. I understand the money factor.

If you have some pretty banged up fenders and are not building a point car, Wescott makes the finest fiberglass fenders there are. And the won't have to be "altered" like the current steel repros..

I have read that there was a guy that worked the fiberglass fenders to a point that fooled everyone if you did not have a magnet.

[DaWizard]

Ya know Mike, I see no reason why that can't be done. I have waited for it for years, but it seems no one was willing to take the time.

Of course, now with the labor hourly rate so high, it wouldn't be worth it.

[2manycars]

I have wondered for many years where the term "repop" came from. I have always referred to reproduction parts as "repro".

[JDupuis]

Remember when:
A screw was a screw
And a hoe was a hoe.....our language keeps evolving. . Jeff

[CM2]

Young hipsters coined that,just like 'dizzy' for distributor...repop aint bad, but some of the others,like dizzy,are annoying to me.

[dmdeaton]

I don't like dizzy either, now repop I like.

[Larry Jenkins]

Dissy.. Even Mitch knows that. :rolling

[Big hammer]

Speaking of evolving language, a local news channel here use’s
NXT for next? wonder if it’s laziness or the new generation :-(

[BNCHIEF]

DUNNO.

[Jeff/Illinois]

Or 'SPX' for 'Spokesman"

Soon they will just lay it out in all text format. Soon we will be saying 'MoA' for Model A. Then it will be MoAFo.Shortened to 'MoFo'........... Been called that more times than I can recall!!

[Michael M]

Don’t even need letters anymore:

[Mike V. Florida]

They say 157 new emojis are coming out this year.

[dmdeaton]
