  • Pic of my painted '89 Bird

    Sorry for the delay. I was working on my brakes and I took out the brake drums in order to paint it, but I had to go to work and I didn't want to leave the car on jack stands because I was afraid that one of the kids might play around the car and it might accidentally fall on them. I put the wheels back on and took out the jacks.

    Anyway to make a long story short my brother who was excited to see the new condition of the car decided to take it out for a spin, WITHOUT THE BRAKE DRUMS. I was so surprise he didn't get into accidents and VERY surprise he was able to stop. I know that 70% of the braking power on this car is at the front, but still, the brake fluid was almost gone.

    SO when I got back home the drive way was saturated with brake fluid and the diaphrams from the wheel cylinders were completely gone. I have to order and wait for new ones. So that was my set back.

    The car is filthy and I won't be able to wash it because it's going to rain this weekend. Nevertheless, you can see how good the Sherwin William paint looks.

      What I regret the most was not doing enough to prep the car. I should've hit it with 300 and 400 sand paper to totally smooth it out. I fell for that sales pitch that they would do everything.

      Anyway, for that price $470 I'm happy.
