"Do the hardest job first" words to live by for sure. Looks good and you are getting some time in on the 60. Do you think the low spots for the trim clips was because the clips were put in with a hammer ?????????

[@lonestarlows]

Yes probably production. Assembly line.

Thanks for mentioning how many oz you use and psi I waste so much paint and primer I either mix to much or not enough and when it comes to clear oranges have nothing on me!

[@lonestarlows]

Haha. Yea a good general rule of thumb is 8oz per panel per coat. So to primer a 64 door. I'd mix up a out 24 oz for 3 coats. Or what I'd do is mix up 12. Give it one coat. Then pour it back in cup and see what is left and calculate from there.

How short u need to go on valances I'm doing 59 style continental kit

[@thekingmtmt3873]

Hello. Have a question. Generally, how many hours would you say it take to do a lowrider? Ik it kinda depends on the build but i just want to get an idea. Any info would be greatly appreciated

[@blue32nu]

You should check his series on the 61,I think he tallied the hours at the end of the series

[@thekingmtmt3873]

@blue32nu I did watch, but I don't remember seeing or hearing him speak on that, but I will go back and check it out. Thanks

[@lonestarlows]

On the 61 I had over 700 hours. I have a spreadsheet on it. That car didn't have any metal work. Just fender patches. It's really had to gauge because every car is different.

[@blue32nu]

@lonestar lows just a quick Google search on hourly body shop rates (California low end) is $42x700 hours is $29400! That's just labor!!! Now the price of materials and car puts you into the 6 figure category if you have a shop build for you. Definitely not for someone light on funds. I suppose that's why projects take decades if even they get finished!

Are you a business? I need quarters for my 60

[@lonestarlows]

More of a hobbyist. 60 quarter patch panels are currently discontinued last I heard
