Ok, here is the updated pics. I have a few of how I do the removal and installation on the rocker panels (inner) and the floor. Hope you like...
Here are the seats stripped down, then they were blasted. I painted them the color of a manila envelope, (I can't find pics of that). They were sent off to be redone with new wicker.
Here is the metal reconditioning phase, I had some real challenges with the metal, not a straight panel on it. I use various tools from paintless dent repair tools to hammers, spoons, and dollies. I have a shrinking disc that helps finish the metal, shrinking the highs. The goal is to make the use of filler minimal. The quarter panels had old damage that was not repaired correctly, the passenger side had about 15 holes drilled in it to pull out the damage and then they didn't pull out near the amount they could have leaving the holes and about 1/2 inch thick layer of body filler as the end result. I have pics of it before I started that I can add later to show you, this kind of bad quality workmanship was evident all over the car. Here are the pics of the finished metal after I welded the holes shut and worked in behind with picks and stretched/shrunk as needed..
Here is one pick of it at the paint strip phase: you can see the heavy repair area (light color= filler)
Here is the front driver fender, many small dents that were just filled with filler, I raised the lows and shrunk the highs with my shrinking disc, the tops were also not straight by my definition so I worked them as well.
Here is the rear lid, it had the same poor quality repair work typical of this car, with holes and lots of filler over an old repair that was leaded. It was deep in areas as well, there is bracing on the other side that made it hard to work. The metal was actually touching the brace because of the dents being so deep.
Here is after my repair work was done.
First coat of filler primer after skim of epoxy filler, I don't use polyester filler, there is a new epoxy that is much better for bare metal and sands easier. It is expensive but better.
