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!!
