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. |

I broke out the sand blaster last weekend and cleaned up the inside of the long as best I could, then sprayed it with some Ospho. It came out pretty good but there are some more areas that I have not yet managed to get to. I am constantly amazed at how hard my sandblaster is to operate. It is one of the cheap harbour freight models. Between its tendancy to give me either nothing but air or mostly sand it is amazing that anything gets done. Between that and my undersized (for the job) air compressor and every sandblasting session ends with me swearing a lot and covered with sand. There has got to be a better way.
