Well we pick up our story already in progress but I hope that by forcing myself to post some pictures I will be motivated to keep going.
I bought the car may years ago and have yet to truely enjoy it. I have started to restore it several times and always get distracted but this weekend the baby (and his mother) is out of town and we have a three day weekend so lets see how far I can get. Here is where we are starting this morning. |

And this is how far I got today.
The plan is to sandblast a little more tomorrow, then clean up all the media and paint as much as I can with POR15 and while that drys I'll try to size the replacement panel. |

paint as much as I can with POR15 Don't! I'm afraid, POR15 does not work as advertised ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I have had better luck with Metal Ready or Ospho and then a good primer over that once it's dry. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Andy |

Just out of curiousity what went wrong? My search indicates that POR has problems for future paint application and in abusive environments (wheel wells, etc.) But tht it might be Ok inside the longs |
