Racing season is over and it is time to get back to work on this racecar.
I finally had a couple of parts shipped back from CA...Thanks Dug! First is the Ginther windscreen |

The Ginther screen is tough to find....in my experience and un-cheep.
Be careful handling it while fitting. I was & still managed to crack it. I've not seen one F/S for 4-5 years....extra careful. Attached image(s) |

I've got that exact same whale tail that I won't be using. PM me if you're interested. Located in Davis, CA (just outside of Sacramento).

I started work on the car again, got most of the front trunk cleaned up tonight.
Lots of holes to weld up! |

Your car is coming along great.
Glenn has spent countless hours prepping this car ans is very detail minded. The appearance of rust is a problem with the lighting. Most of what looks like surface rust is not. It is nice clean and shinny! The roll bars are painted brown. |

Looking good! I don't know if anyone around Chicago does it anymore, but I wonder if getting the chassis blasted (sand, walnut, glass bead, etc) wouldn't save a bunch of time on this project. Seeing all those TV shows where they send off the chassis and see exactly what they have to deal with makes it look quite tempting.
The local guy I had used on several projects ( Blastaway near O'Hare Airport) went out of business after they expanded the airport and took his property for the expansion. |

It will probably be blasted before I primer, I am cleaning areas to fill holes and other small changes...I don't want to have to blast it twice. |

I removed the horn and fog light mounts and filled the holes. Clean the paint off Weld up the holes |

I had an early door with a bad door skin (rust & bondo) so I thought I would try and re-skin it with fiberglass.

Finally had a warm (41 degrees) dry day on Saturday so I pushed the chassis out side and sand blasted some hard to clean areas

It's hard to know what I dislike more, the cold or sandblasting outside of a cabinet! Dealing with both of them at the same time should get you some kudos for getting the job done!
