A New Friend of MechanicOne...acquired by trade at the All British Car Show!!!

1975 Datsun 280Z - Primed and Painted

This car is a nice example with very minimal rust showing, however years of neglect produced a dent on virtually every smooth surface. 

Refinishing included fairing every panel; 6 coats of polyester fill primer, sanded and smoothed; followed by 3 coats of epoxy primer wet-sanded.  Final stages included 3 coats of urethane base coat in Datsun #305 Light Blue Metallic, followed by 3 coats of urethane Hi-Gloss Clear (4 coats on the edges)!!!

All British Car Show 2010-SECOND PLACE-MGB Chrome Bumper

The MechanicOne restored MGB earned 2nd place against 23 entries in the 1974 and earlier Chrome Bumper class...a little more detailing in the engine bay would have secured a 1st place win!!!  

Congratulations to Chuck and Cindy of Lake Mary!!

1965 Mustang "Pony Edition"---recent total restoration

This is a nice "Pony Car" edition offered in 1965.  The total strip and refinish work included 6 coats of Epoxy primer followed up with 3 coats of Porsche "Guards Red" urethane and 3 coats of urethane Hi-Gloss Clear.

Near rust free when we started, I had purchased this car with intentions to keep it for a time, but received an offer I couldn't refuse.  As a result, I have a nice 302 Stroker Motor waiting for a new home!!! Email or call me for more details.
