Finally getting around to posting all these up. My paint job was always a 7 out of 10. whenever I wasn't driving it I was able to leave it covered under a car port. In the spring of 2018, I got the car and noticed the clear coat was bubbling up on the roof. I work at a body shop, an because the rest of the car wasn't "that bad", I was just going to re-paint the roof and quarters. Well as with most things...….it got out of control. Ended up stripping the entire car. Took 9 months, but it was well worth it. Luckily I work at a body shop so I had lots of help from my buddies and access to all the tools/equipment I needed. After taking the doors apart, they were too rusted to try and save. I bought dome goodmark doors. And they actually fit pretty damn good. It had previously been wrecked on the left front (me when I was 17..oops). The front left never did really fit right or "flow" So I bought a used oem fender, and everything fit much much better. After the body work, and lots and lots of block sanding. Hours and hours and hours of blocking. It was so miserable. But the guys at work didn't let me cut corners and assured me it would all be worth it. We painted an base coat and 3 coats of clear. It looked amazing. So we took a sander to ti. Yes, that was planned. We sanded with 600 grit to get it even smoother, then re-sprayed with 2 more coats of clear
