94m5 July 5th, 2006, 11:10 PM Well, I was finally able to pull Mespock's 94 into the shop today, and get the dent pulled on his drivers door. Tomorrow is a busy day finishing the door for paint, and getting the new hood, and fender ready for paint also. While I am at it, the rear 1/4 panel will be blended, and completely re-cleared to make sure there is not chance for a mismatch.
BTW Rich, It is paint code DK, so if you want to go ahead with your original plan, have at it. :D
More pics tomorrow.

ONEBADMK8 July 5th, 2006, 11:17 PM Nice work!! ALL METAL!!
94m5 July 5th, 2006, 11:23 PM It won't be all metal tho..... The door skin was stretched WAY too much to do metal finishing work. It'll have a couple coats of Evercoat "RAGE GOLD* filler before primer. But all in all, there will be VERY little filler in the panel.
Mike
JC1994 July 5th, 2006, 11:40 PM Rich, I'll bet your car is gonna look sharp when Mike gets done with it!! :cool: :cool:

YouthKwest July 6th, 2006, 10:02 AM Ivory pearl question, if I have a deep chip in the paint, would I have to re-paint all the car just to fix the chip?
mespock July 6th, 2006, 11:32 AM I don't think so but that's coming from just someone excited to get his 94 Mark VIII again.

marked8 July 6th, 2006, 08:03 PM I bet you are glad now that you didn't part it out.
mespock July 6th, 2006, 08:53 PM Oh this deal has worked so great... Instead of getting 1 Mark VIII I got 2...
Can't wait to see the next set of pics...
Sergmark July 7th, 2006, 12:37 AM Has someone replaced the front fender already... Looks like a different color?:eek: :eek:

No. I'm no expert, yet, but it can be fixed. Pearls can be blended, it's just harder. It's pretty much a spot fix, then you just blend the paint out.
mespock July 7th, 2006, 07:15 AM Has someone replaced the front fender already... Looks like a different color?:eek: :eek:
Yes Scott replaced it with one he found. It's getting repainted......

He is right,
Rich, I'm gonna give you a call here in a bit.
Mike
mespock July 7th, 2006, 07:50 AM He is right,
Rich, I'm gonna give you a call here in a bit.
Mike
Daughter had taken my cell phone last night so I couldn't find it when you called.
Plus, with my screen being boggered I could see who called until I read this post.
I left you a message on your cell. Call me back if you get a chance.
94m5 July 7th, 2006, 12:46 PM Update....
Door is done, and ready for paint, and the fender has become a bit more work then I had hoped. The rock gaurd was seperating from the metal, and had allowed some rust to form. SO..... I had to grind it all off, and re prime the lower section of it. the car will be in the booth sunday night, and painted monday morning.
Mike
JC1994 July 7th, 2006, 01:11 PM Cool!! go Mike go!! :D

mespock July 12th, 2006, 09:16 AM I sure hope JD or GF is bringing the 94 earlier on Friday because I'm going crazy waiting LOL.... So don't play with me boy... LOL... I feel like a kid waiting to open his Christmas Presents... but I can't even shake the box...
This thread is like the Christmas Toy Catalog... I keep going back over what I've seen day in and day out just waiting and hoping!!!!
marked8 July 12th, 2006, 01:08 PM Any new pics?
mespock July 12th, 2006, 04:30 PM I'm betting that Mike is going to make me sweat until Friday!!!
pepperman July 12th, 2006, 04:48 PM You think so Rich. :D
94m5 July 25th, 2006, 04:53 PM Car is out of the booth, and will be wetsanded and buffed tomorrow. thursday is completion day, as I have to put the door hardware back together, and adjust the hood to line it up with the fenders. Anyway,

Bring it to the GLD, I down with that. My MarkVIII will be ready to go soon. If not I'll beat on the LSE, your not afraid of a little 3.9 are ya?:) :)
mespock July 28th, 2006, 07:28 AM In that Mark VIII I wouldn't be afraid of any no-modified Mark VIII or LS...
From what I've heard from those who have had the privilege of driving it - Scott, Mike, Ray, and JD... The car has a lot of ball for being stock...
Can't wait to see it and drive it.. Last time I drove it she was pretty banged up....
And if it wasn't for the fact that the MI meet was so close to the July meet, having to go down to pick up my 94, and being my wife's B-day... I'd be at the MI meet...

94m5 July 29th, 2006, 06:39 PM rich just left my house on his way home. Pics from our day today.
I pulled my 98 in to swap the rear end out, and install the MMX driveshaft while we were at it. Dad decided to re do the rear shock mounts, which was a good call cause they were about shot.
Anyway, my body working days are about over professionally, as I am leaving for Colorado to enroll in college for architecture. Hope you like it Rich.
Mike
pepperman July 29th, 2006, 06:54 PM Cool pics Mike, wonder if Rich will drive like Debi going home. :D
torquemonkey July 29th, 2006, 07:32 PM Great looking work Mike!

mespock July 30th, 2006, 07:49 AM Notice three things in those pics!!!
1.. Slave Driver Mike making his Dad do all the labor..
2.. Well Mike does actually do some of the work...
3.. And everyone works while at Mike's LOL...
It was a lot of fun thanks Mike... Where are the pics of you polishing the end of your shaft!!! I'm sure Debi would want to see it...
And if you want to know why Mike does so much work on his cars... If you would get to see where he gets to do all his work... Damn.... I'd never go home...
Thanks again for the help with the 94, and for the great time this past weekend.
Oh and No Deer Yet!

GMAN August 8th, 2006, 09:25 PM Mike, I think you're missing your calling.
94m5 August 8th, 2006, 09:40 PM I don't think I am. :)
This profession will never pay enough to support my plans in life. I've always wanted to get into Architecture, (took advanced college courses in high school) and now is the time to do it.
One other reason is..... body work/mechanics is my HOBBY. I enjoy doing it right now, but if I keep at it in a few years it won't be anymore. It's just better this way.

mespock August 9th, 2006, 08:28 AM Or maybe the next Frank Loyd Wright. ;)
Hey Frank... You need to come back up here and tour this area... You know how many Frank Loyd Wright houses we have in this area...
He was Born in Richland Center... Spring Green is full of his architecture.
Sergmark August 9th, 2006, 03:04 PM Hey Rich how come you know so much ? You should be a teacher :eek: :eek:
mespock August 9th, 2006, 03:54 PM Hey Rich how come you know so much ? You should be a teacher :eek: :eek:

94m5 August 9th, 2006, 10:36 PM you guys give me WAY too much credit. I'm not nearly as good as you think. I just enjoy doing it and making sure it's done right.
Mike
mespock August 10th, 2006, 01:28 PM Any Luck finding the LMS MAF that was in the trunk?
94m5 August 11th, 2006, 12:57 PM No not yet Rich, I may just have to buy you a new one before it's all said and done.
It is now official, I am moving to Colorado Springs in the next month, and beginning school on oct 2nd. I'm kinda excited about this, but still dreading a move of this magnatude. It'll be worth it tho.

Make sure to have a good winter car... LOL... Oh and a CO meet at your place... :p
pepperman August 11th, 2006, 03:59 PM A Colorado meet. :cool:
94m5 August 11th, 2006, 10:19 PM We'll see about that. Between working full time, and school full time, it's gonna be hard to find time.
ya never know tho.
mike
mespock August 12th, 2006, 07:41 AM So you going to take JD with you?
94m5 August 12th, 2006, 08:33 AM nope, dad is staying in Illinois, but once everything is settled out here, he may end up wanting to move out. The weather and amosphere is second to none in this area, and would be a good place to retire.
well see,
Mike
