Another fun job, mentioned in the previous post is the scraping of undercoating etc off the underside of the cart in preparation for blasting. I am still not sure if I am going to buy a pressurized blaster and do it myself or try and take it somewhere. There are arguments for each but I think doing it myself will win, especially since I just bought a $900 80 gallon twin cylinder 220 compressor AND I have the space to do it.
Just how solid the underbody is can be seen in these pictures. Yes there is rust to repair, but this car is much more solid than a lot I've seen pictures of. The first picture is the underbody behind the drivers seat, the second is inside the passenger rear wheel well looking forward.
Finally, if I have less than an hour to work, I spend my time cleaning and polishing parts. The gauges actually came out super nice, only some light yellowing. All the tail light housings are as nice as this one.
12 hours in, 988 (or so) to go
