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?

1963 Impala SS. I need this car very bad.
how you do that
Is this the same guy from overhaulin? That show was badass
Wow, it really took him that long to figure out that you could knock the filler a d paint out of the box sander to reuse sandpaper??
Might have been the first Mary Kay car they were going to give away!
Fun to watch and learn 🙂
Rather than using a wire brush to clean out sandpaper of sanding dust, next time try a soft brush, takes it right off and in no way affects the sandpaper grit
What happened to Kevin Tetz? he was an excellent and very informative personality for Eastwood
