Default Update on my HB, you guys requested it. 56K Beware!

Ok, it is currently in the body shop. The body repair class at school is really doing a great job on it, i am over there like every day during my planning period. The pics don't show where we shaved the stock antenna and shaved the front license plate mounts...........it is going well I think considering what is used to look like.
















In Case you forgot what it looked like when I bought it.

Dude nice pic of the S10 front end!

You doing a conversion?

Really though, the shop class is doing this for you? Works out for both you and them I suppose. You paying for it at all? you're a teacher at that school too? What do you teach?

yeah I teach at this school, I teach Ag. Tech class, which is your basic welding, electrical wiring, plumbing, concrete, small engines class, and I also teach two horticulture classes. Yeah they are doing all the prep work and the instructor is going to actually spray it. I have in it, lets see, because of discounts the school gets for buying supplies, lets see

Paint: This is the complete dupont system (Audi Nimbus gray) $200
New Fenders $75 bucks
New molding $65
New Hood $100

That is it.........that is all I will have in this body work and paint job.

bad thing is it is gonna end up taking about a month to complete, but who is complaining, not I!

Figured I would throw in an example of what these guys practice on to learn. the instructor will like take a ball pein hammer and dent the **** out of it, poke holes in it and say, ok fix it like new............

Yeah man I was just kidding. Funny thing is that I've actually seen a damn Blazer with a 99 civic front end on it before.



But anyways, your car - you cannot beat FREE can you?

If every body shop worked as hard as those kids...We'd all have good body work. If you need an extra vehicle to work on...Let me know. I got a pretty beat up hatch that needs semi restoration.
