RESTORING THE PARTS


There are a tremendous number of  parts that need to be restored on this car.  The parts must first be cleaned to remove grease and loose corrosion. It is important to keep debris out of the blasting media. 













Next the parts are sandblasted and cleaned to remove any dust and grease.  Now primer can be applied and allowed to dry thoroughly.




Lightly "scuff" the primer, clean again and apply the final color.  Several finish coats may be required.  Pictured to the right is the part after the finish is applied.








Pictured below is the first of the restored parts...many, many more to come.

Later,
Tom
