Outlaw77 is getting a facelift

[outlaw77LT]

As everyone knows the '77 needs new paint and bodywork. I bought a 5hp 13gal air compressor today and I am getting a couple of sanders and a die grinder this weekend. I've got a guy to paint it when I get the body done.
The new color is gonna be House of Color's " Cruise Night Metallic Blue " in base-clear.

1: Who makes good fitting patchpanels for the rear quarters on a 2nd gen?
2: Anyone know where I can get the header panel for a '74-'77?

Good luck Kenny.

I admire you for taking on the bodywork. I can never get it right. I either sand too much or not enough. That is why I will leave it up to the pro's. It helps that I dont need panel replacement and the car only has three dings. I cant wait to see it.

I just have bubbles on the rear lower panels behind the tires, could easily fix with some mud but I'd rather keep the mud to a minimum. Eastwood Bodywork Supply has the HOK paint for less than $100 for 3/4gal. The High Fill Primer and clear coat will each be around that also, so around $350 will get all the liquids and reducer. I'm not looking to get a show stopping paint job, just a fresh one. The blue is very close to the same shade of blue on it already, just with metallic and a base-clear style.

If it is just bubbles then I would replace the panels. Just grind it all down and if you can get to the back side and do the same. Then use a rust encaposr or rust bullet or por 15 on the back, then wipe it with a little mud to smooth it out. It may be easier for some to just weld in a new panel but for me that is the way I would do it.

If you mean the header panel between the headlights I have one. It's the original off my car and has a small crack in the fiberglass on the nose. Could be easily fixed and painted.

Yeah, that's it.Mine's cracked all the way across to the hood from the grill. I hit a deer on way to work a few years ago. It causes it to flex when I open the hood after I put new bumpstop rubbers under the hood.

We have good luck with Goodmark 1/4s and patch panels. No matter who's panels you use,you must have a good body manshiftin

Kenny Pete said he could get them have an e-mail into him now:confused::confused:

[SS2001]

The crack in my header panel is a little worse than I thought. It's not all the way thru, but close. I still think it could be repaired and used. You can check it out and see what you think, if it'll work its yours.

Thanks, I'll look at it sunday, Mine is fixable, but if it still has a little hanging on it'll be easier to glass back together straight:cool:
