Car of the Day - 1970 Chevrolet Camaro - Restoration on a Budget

Before:
1970 Chevy Camaro. Customer removed engine, interior & trim prior to transport to Maaco-Fremont. Maaco cleaned rust, welded holes, ground off old paint & repaired dents. Then we painted the entire car, including the dash, with a 2-stage pearl blue paint. We finished the car with a set of 3-stage pearl white stripes. The customer reassembled the interior and put in a new engine. The car is fierce and turns heads everywhere it goes.


Of interest in the background of the picture below is a 1968 Chevrolet Corvette convertible. Maaco-Fremont repaired a number of cracks and holes in the fiberglass and performed a complete paint job on that car.

After:


Another interesting car in the background of a photo is the 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser that belongs to the manager of a local automotive repair shop. He wanted to create something special--and fix some dents that PT Cruiser had gathered along the way. So we painted his car in a two-tone, 2-stage Harley-Davidson orange & black paint scheme. The owner had ordered some original Harley Emblems that were meant to go on the sides of the motorcycle gas tank. We were able to mount these emblems to the fenders. Look for Mike & his Harley Cruiser on Peralta Ave. in Fremont.
