Projects 53 Chevy Bel Air "Cleetus" mild custom daily driver

And today I got the idea to do a video of me redoing the paint on the splash pan. Like following the paint gun. Almost done with the video and the pan. Wasn't passing up such a hot day with such high uv rays levels lol

 

It’s a toasty one out there! If you can avoid the wind you’ll be set

 

Yeah, that '57 grill bar looks sharp. Really cleans up the front end. GM should've done that but, then again, it wouldn't be so cool now.

 

It's in the garage now to cure lol

 

I love how it gives off a vintage model car vibe lol. When I do it it'll be deeper in the grill opening

 

No fog up this time

 

Looking good!

 

Started making a new sill for the passenger rear

 

Well been dealing with some health stuff. Had a unexpected couple months of surprise narcolepsy. But finally got the third wheel in primer

 

And letting the paint gas out

 

glad your back.

 

Wish whatever I had wrong with me had waited a few months. I'm way behind on everything lol. This wheel took me over a month to paint

 

Oh well I'm working on switching jobs and renting a garage to work out of. So hopefully should catch up lol

 

This one already has a fairly new tire. Has like 3 miles on it but is two years old. I'm not going to bother breaking this one down to paint. I'll just tape and spray. Already got the paint stripped

 

Still haven't gotten my nice painted splash pan on yet lol. Still in the garage where I put it to cure

 

Glad Your up and doing better.

 

I'm just glad to be motivated to do anything. Even when I wasn't asleep I didn't feel like doing much

 

And paintage lol. Let it cure overnight in the garage before putting back on the car

 

And a current pic

 

The decrepit green seat has been bugging me awhile. Took a $5 dollar store bed sheet and "fixed" it lol. Then put my Mexican blanket back on

 

I do wish I had an ashtray for the back of the seat with nicer chrome

 

Never was happy with how the trunk paint came out. Gust of wind has knocked a bunch of trash in the paint. So it looked good but felt bumpy lol. Ill mask it off and respray it tomorrow

 

Glad to see you back at it look forward to seeing the trunk shiny

 

It should actually make it to a local car show with an "under construction" badge next month

 

Fantastic!

 

Coming up on last coat. A tiny bit of trash got back in it but nothing I won't be able to fix with clear coat later. Definitely happier this time lol

 

Appears I timed painting the trunk just right

 

Man send that this way!
