How-To & Tech

Paint done, reassembly beginning, will see the road soon!

What she looked like when I dropped her off at the media blaster.

It was completely disassembled and blasted with plastic media.

Replaced all front clip sheet metal, roof, both quarters, floor pan, trunk pan, toe board, and smoothed the firewall.

Body work is finished and alot of block sanding was required to get it smooth.
