Hello everyone, Spent some time on this car each nite this week. It's been great weather for outside work, just like Aug in Oct! Did most of the work in the dark out behind my garage, very messy and lots of rust. I removed the motor and tranny Thurs nite. I have everything else loose underneath,front and rear spring hanger brackets,U bolts.Pretty much anything else that screws on has been soaked in solvent to loosen without hurting it. Then today I wake to this, I'm gonna take it all apart today,grill,valance panels etc. I did clean up last nite before bed, I get to start clean today.

Good evening everyone, Saturday I disassembled the front and rear valance panels, front headlite header and grill. Then I pressure washed everything before inspection. I've bagged and tagged a ton of stuff, it's getting tricky finding a place for eveything. The car still has the front and rear suspention under it soon to be on the rotisserie. This car was originaly red with one black paint job on top. I was playing around tonite see how easy everything was gonna come off so I can decide what sheet metal to get. This was a quickie cleaning so it's reasonably clean when I pull the K member and such. Before washing: After, Most of the undercoating came off allowing very light media blasting to clean it up. ] Got to go. More later.

Bring it on, I'll take it. Thanks
Last nite I took the K and rear end out of it. Got a few more things to unbolt and it is stripped. I may mount it on the spit tonite for a preliminary pressure washing before I pull out the blaster. Plan is to partially blast some of the bottem and such, then take it off the spit and set up for sheet metal replacement. After all that is done then the whole thing will get a blasting.
Here's my work space,I'm luckier than most, not near as nice as some peoples work space.
