About time someone did a factory looking job on shock tower frame rail repair!...good job brother...wish you were in Michigan...I love your attention to detail in your work!

Thanks for the kind words! If you're gonna do something, might as well do it right!

Very nicely done. For those that dont have an HLVP gun, any thoughts on Eastwood's AeroSpray 2K Spray Paint? They state that its a 2 Component Ceramic AeroSpray Paint that has the durability and precision of a 2 component coating without the paint gun. The two-chamber design mixes the ceramic fortified coating and activator right in the can. Any opinions would be appreciated. Nice workmanship on your job.

Thanks for the comment! I don’t have any experience with that product specifically, but aerosols generally don’t offer as much control over application of the paint material, which is the main advantage of using a spray gun. If you however don’t have access to use a spray gun, there isn’t anything wrong with a good quality aerosol product

@@kyholm I seen the Carstar sign. Wonderland rd maybe ?? I just picked up an 89 Lx Drag car project build but ya the towers and frame below is o think as bad as yours. I’d love to discuss possibly having you of your shop aligning that front end so it’ll track true at 150mph.
