Justin's newest modifacation

Ok so Justin's newest modifacation to his car was shaving the back door handles. When he asked my permission to do so, I said only one thing..you better make it look good, and not cost too much money. So several hours + help from friends + $15 in primer and paint = A well done job...and one very happy wife!

Friday night Justin went to our friend Bryans house and from the help of him and a few other friends they got the job started. Justin was there about 7 hours. They had to take the handle off, replace the hole with a metal filler/plate. Weld that all together, and then use some bondo to seal everything. Then to start sanding away. Justin could not of done this without the help of his friends..So thank you!

Saturday Justin spent a few hours at our friends Carlos's house to sand some more. At that time Carlos let Justin take home his sander and that to work on it some more. So then Sunday Justin spent a few more hours in the garage sanding, priming, and sanding again...lol. Then he put on the final primer and found some paint that matched pretty well with the stock paint job. At the end of it all you can tell if you look up close that there is a slight difference in color, but other than that..It looks FANTASTIC.


Before Image...Door handles

Step one....removed handles

Step 2... They filled it with a metal filler, added a metal plate, then used Bondo to secure it. Finally to sand and prime

Step 3...Lots of sanding and priming...Justin spent a few hours completeing this.

The final product...No Handles. I think he did an awesome job considering that this was his first time shaving anything and then going back and welding and sanding the body work. He showed me the completion and I liked it so much I told him we need to finish it off and do the front ones. Of course they will cost more, so we'll have to wait on those.
