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?

They exported factory then they went from 3 shifts to 1 then None except for robots working round the clock double or triple time as needed to meet demand.

Great story on the 59
I like the stud welder. I have been trying to figure out how to take some of the dings out of my 1964 Ford F250 and this looks doable because in some of the areas the is no way to go to the back of the panel. The truck has sentimental value since I bought it from my Dad in 1980 when I graduated from High School.
I have a 1960 Bellaire just bought in Kentucky ship it back to Houston
Hands on cars unless it's bare metal than it's glove on hands.
Japanese cars are better
