Before and After new Paint Job & Restoration Pics

Just thought I’d share some pics of my dads 55 Bel Air..

Before:


After

 

WOW! Man talk about a beautiful car. I really like the new paint scheme!

 

Sweet car...man love the new paint job looks wicked :wicked:

I too like the paint scheme it has going on there :thumb:

Thank you for sharing...um...got any more pictures?

The paint looks wet too nice :righton:

 

DAMN! What a nice car, bel airs are so sweeeet More pictures?

The only thing I would change, is the modern cd player

 

It was gorgeous before and it's gorgeous after! Looks like an expensive paintjob!

 

ooh good question P1et...if it's okay to ask how much was that paint job? Just curious that's all.

 

yeah, she really is beautiful... these pics really do not do it justice!!

The paint is superb!! Great flake, it may look like the typical white and red Bel Air scheme but it is actually a silver/wine metallic.

he added the modernizations of power steering, A/C and the CD player... the CD player and AC vent as you can see were installed in the ceter consol that was fabricated (by the same shop that re-skinned and embroidered the seats). This was fab'd for the steroe and the A?C vent so that when he sells it ha can just remove the console and the inegrity of the car will nto be disturbed.

I will get some more pics of of my pops and post them up.. I really want to get some pics of his 67 Camaro - MINT TOP TO BOTTOM

I'll also ask him how much the paint job was.. I may be totally off but if I remeber correct I want to say it was like $6k??

 

Ah, smart! I like it He has good taste :thumb: Would love pictures of the camaro!

 

what a nice car, i think the car looks way better with the new colous. Great work

 

that is sickkkk

 

wow, that is outstanding! your dad has some nice taste, and obviously some great craftsmanship on that job

:applause:

Just to share a little more info on the car:

The car is a ground up restore - show car. it has a 350 pulling it and a 700R overdrive tranny.
Power steering, windows & brakes (disc front drum rear) & Magna flow exhaust. Stainless gas tank.

The paint job is sick.. the red is from Jaguars 2005 model year and costs something like $700 a gallon. The silver is actually a wheel paint, he choose this because on how much flake it has. The rear quarter panels were replaced when it was painted. The painter found too much bondo in those areas so he replaced them and the craftsman ship is flawless.

Funny thing, I told my pops I posted some pics up of his ride, he tells me about his new wheels and that he's selling the 55 (and his G35) in the next couple months...lol - he gets bored....lol

He's going to take some more detailed pics for me to share..

 

Man that thing is so sweet! Thanks for sharing....

 

Those are some sweet looking rims :applause: the paint job is impresive an looks wicked :wicked:

oooooh that reminds me......

 

Dayum that's a hot car!

 

6 grand is a bargain. That car is MINT!

Those seats are look like they are right from the showroom

 

THATS MY FAV COLOR ON CARS!!! Its like a coppery orange metallic right? Awesome car!

 

niiiiiiiiiiiiice, but what was wrong with the purple?

 

Beautiful car! However I like color in a first picture better. maybe it's just me.

 

That is a beautiful car. My dad had a 55 sedan show car when he was younger. My next project is going to be a 55, mini-tubbed with a blown injected big block. That is awesome that your dad is into cars like that.
