Block sanding is done what’s the next step? Not painting here at VVG 

Ive been watching from the beginning. Its really looking phenomenal! I am totally envious of the way it looks. Your a true craftsman and your videos are very informative. I look foward to everyone! I always learn something from them. Thanks for sharing all the tips and tricks

Gotta be hot in Indiana. Sweat and hard work topped off with your skill are gonna make the owner very happy.

Thank you Mr. John, I really appreciate all your tips and tricks, what an awesome job!

nice work Jon. The pumpkin is coming together. Look forward to the paint process.

Really coming together

Looks like it's going to be a pretty nice car when it's all done John!!👍🏽

Great video, reminds me of the long nights getting my '70 GTO, ready for the painter. Youre an inspiration to find another '68 Firebird i used to have, factory 400 4spd car.

Gets me Sooo revved Up for my 68 Bird , Still in metal work but I'm Stoked 👌 😅 Great videos !

Just a tip from my experience, having the hood standing on the corners,could damage them. I have seen that so many times. I store them on the side, longer surface contact, in my opinion. The bird is looking Fantastic!!! Keep up the great work!

Your videos are the best you show so much very important steps sharing you knowledge with all of us that are trying to do everything your doing and you do it righ! Thank you for the awesome videos Jonh.

Great details again. Even the different size bolts for the hood. Good stuff.👍

Right with you on the blocking, worst part, but worth it in the end

The car is looking great. Thank you for sharing this, someday ill try my hand at painting. Metal work is tough sometimes but the body and paint is art. keep up the great work.

Good explanations of your reasonings for going the VVG route. For sure, when painting in a garage or a space not sealed from the elements that cause defects to your hard work, there are steps that pay off in the long run.

It's all about the details and preparation - it's what makes the final product look great! Great tips and work as always John.

Another great video, great explanation, that car is gonna look great

As always, great work!

Really looking great.

Gonna be nice 👍 . 😊JR

Great video I'm going to do the same thing to my 68 I just can't put it to high up because as you know I'm a short man but I have a big heart the bird is going to look better than new Great job as always

In watching you in this video you removed the hood on bolt at a time ... have you ever replaced a bolt on each side with all-thread .... they help hold the hood in place till you are ready to lift it up ... the same applies when you go to set the hood back in place ... seen it in a video a few years back .... your videos on the pumpkin have been great ... thanks from muncie ...

I block sand the car with slick sand ...only I wet sand...45+ hours is nothing..I am sure this car will be fantastick. the rocker panels are a focal point for body work, the car will look great!!

a buddy is restoring his 68 Firebird convertible and doing it in a 2 car garage maybe I can get him to watch your videos

Not trying to bust you balls John but when I did my 68 Bird after blocking the PPG Vaira Prime, I did as you are going to do and found out later (the HARD WAY) I skipped sealing the car with a GOOD sealer before paint. The smart thing to do is after removing the front clip & doors & trunk lid & after finish sanding, shoot a full coat of sealer over everything to hide all shadows and stop all likes of crazy issues that can happen years after you painted the car (happened to me) I shot my Bird with R&M Lacquer with no sealer. Looked outstanding after sanding & buffing and won a few AOMCI car shows. BUT for some crazy reason every time you get the car wet (like a lite rain on it) millions of little pimples rise up and you can see them, but the next day, there all gone ! Had a PPG auto paint expert see it happen right in front of his eyes, and he asked if I sealed the primer with a top quality sealer between block sanding and paint the car? I said no, just put paint right over the PPG Vaira prime, that was my mistake. I learned the hard way to always seal off all your primer before paint. 15 years later my 68 Bird STILL gets all them little pimples every time the car gets wet ! then go away the next day after it dry's. I will be forced to strip the car to metal again the next time I paint it. There is only 1 paint job on the car as I stripped all the car last time as well. A good sealer is a VERY wise thing to do as we ALL are in this tougher.

wow you picked that hood up by yourself and didnt scratch it! They are heavier than they look.

I hope those are steel toed sandals

💪😎
