On Episode 11 of the web series Hands-On Cars, Kevin Tetz shows you how to bodywork the Camaro and use Primer-Surfacer, Guide Coat and different styles of sanding blocks to get it laser straight. Then KT takes you for a ride in a beautiful unrestored 1959 Chevy Impala!
Visit Eastwood for Sanding Blocks:
Kevin’s buddies show up to help bodywork the Camaro – including Chris Slee from Kiwi Classics and Customs and TC Penick from Bay One Customs, plus engine builder John Bouchard. In a day’s time, the bodywork was done on the Camaro, the gaps were set, a new trunk lid was added, a new hood was shaped into place with a piece of 2×4 and an Eastwood MIG 175 welder – and then KT laid down the Eastwood High Build Primer-Surfacer and started block sanding to get the panels laser straight.
This is definitely a crew of Eastwood Guys! Are You an Eastwood Guy?

Once you remove the paint and rust from a vehicle, do you have to automictically have to place paint on it or can it be put on at anytime?

Been doing this for years metal- fabrication and body work. You had to watch and listen to the oldtimers, you had to mess up big time and learn to fix it. Now you just watch pros on Youtube, But the best way is hands on.
