It rolls just fine on 4 lugs, last time i checked, you don't need 5 lugs to be able to roll a car around the shop ...

Wisconsin, Michigan... They look pretty much the same at 33,000 feet.

Work started on some of the beginning stages today. First some overall shots to record what we're starting with.

Cleared all the tar off the floor to see what we're working with. I'm actually REALLY surprised how good the floors are. Since the chassis was sitting outside in the weather for years, I would have expected more holes. This is the sort of experience that reinforces my understanding that rust is not the voracious predator everyone seems to think it is. Just because a car gets wet doesn't mean it'll rust away in a year. I'm considering keeping these pans and just patching a few small areas..

Continuing prep for putting the car up on the Celette bench. Trying to remove as much 'bad' metal as I can now. I had wanted to put off media blasting the car, but now I'm thinking it might be better to go ahead and get it done now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I opened up the PS rear fender because of the rust holes, and I think I'm going to open up all the areas that rust from the seam sealer/foam. It's the best way to get all that crap out, and chances are they're rusty on the back side, so if they're not showing now, they will in the future. Nows the time to nip it in the bud.

Also removed the rear section of the front PS fender. The door pillar is tweaked and rusted. So I'll need to replace that. I had a spare panel for that, but it must have gotten tossed in the move. Anyone have a PS door pillar or a car they're cutting up?

Oh, I removed the fiberglass GT flares as well. Looks like there'll be plenty of material left to install the steel flares.

Finally, removed the rusty engine shelf, and homemade battery tray. You can see the mangled suspension ear at the bottom of the second photo.
