Body Work
We strip our builds down to bare metal, and tackle rust repair first, after that we go into modifications, flairs, scoops, wide body, body kits, nows the time to lay those things out, how they mount, and flow.
We love the look of these aftermarket quarters on classic broncos. That steel flair matches the front fender flair, it gives it a classy feel vs aftermarket flairs. Its a lot of work, but the end result is worth it.
Final stages of body work on this bronco. Client is 6'6" so we are in the middle of lowering his seat pans 3", which requires building a new sub structure for the body mounts as well. After that this gal will be shot in Ford Race Red.
Devils in the details, and here were prepping the undercarriage to be shot in POR 15, followed by a Raptor Undercoating. The rotisserie allows us to have complete access to what we need, save our backs and necks.
Some times we strip things by hand, it just depends on what we have. in this case it had previously been stripped to bare metal and rattle can premiered. These paint stripping barrels make this job a breeze.
We do as much metal work as possible with little filler used, here were prepping the sherifs 68 QC car for more Optix primer for blocking. We shoot 3-5 layers of Optix primer and block from 80 all the way up to 400 by hand.
Not playboy pink, but that is Optix, we love it because it sands grey, making sure we don't miss anything with this built in guide coat.
Devils in the details while Peppe works over the door jams. We do a walk around with a client before paint. This is our last chance to catch anything we may have missed, or a detail change the client wants. Once the paint is laid down, there's no turning back.
Final stage of blocking, we lay it on with great coverage and begins with 220, 320 and 400. We seal our body work, and then add 3 more layers of primer for final blocking. That allows us to make sure were straight as possible for the show car finish.
Bronco hard top in progress, even those go thru all the stages, we don't cut corners, and the final finish is always worth it.
Getting those sharp, crisp lines right.
Our 67 Shelby/Eleanor build currently in progress. Always start with a solid platform before anything is modified body or performance wise.
