Ok, this is not Handyman Todd type work but I wanted to post my '71 Camaro on this site. 

I have owned this car for 18 years.  It was Placer Gold and very unattractive.  I turned it sideways

in my garage and disassembled it, replaced the rusty quarter panels, straightened all the dents,

replaced all the glass, changed the interior from brown to black.  It took me about 9 months,

evenings and weekends.  I painted the car in my garage, dangerous - don't try this at home

type stuff.  I learned how to work on cars during High School Votech auto-body repair classes.

Here is the before:

I took off the vinyl top, removed all the glass and lights.  This is the start of the project.

This is after the major work is done, the gray is primer.  I painted behind all the doors and jams,

reassembled it, wet sanded the primer, ready for paint.

I built a big plastic paint booth with filters to capture all the mess, this is right after it was painted.

How it looks now.  I wet sanded the paint after it dried a week or so, buffed it to a shine,

reassembled all the interior, glass, painted the wheels and grill black.  I keep it under a car

cover in my garage and only drive it when the sun is out...
