Thanks Gustavo!

[@Endfloat]

Brilliant video, thanks. Hopefully just what I need to get my own car sorted properly.

[@locosporlosvolkys7640]

Gracias por tus vídeos, estoy aprendiendo mucho!

[@trevcessna1723]

Nice video, always exciting to see the body going back on!! Do you have a video for the body prep and painting? I see it’s nicely painted underneath. Thanks!

[@Sam_Mebane]

No, not much to see other standard body and dent repair,hours of block sanding and more block sanding. I'm sure there are countless of other videos from real body work experts. I just dabble in body work on my own cars.

[@SteveBlack-kj3pm]

Muy buen trabajo. Pero hizo falta ver cuando lo pintan. Saludos.

[@Sam_Mebane]

No tuvimos acceso al taller de pintura mientras lo estaban pintando, lo siento. Gracias por los cumplidos.

[@SteveBlack-kj3pm]

@@Sam_Mebane Gracias por su respuesta

[@spenceradams2908]

What color did you use to paint the shell it looks great

[@Sam_Mebane]

Glasurit 22 Line Single Stage Laguna Seca Blue

[@Xfactorr6]

What is the color code for the body?

[@Sam_Mebane]

We didn't paint the car the factory color, 60D Elm Green. We painted it with Glasurit 22 Line Single Stage Laguna Seca Blue.

[@Xfactorr6]
