A VIEW YOU HAVEN'T SEEN

Bill and I spent most of the day cleaning and painting parts.  Bill, pictured above is cleaning the drive shaft and universal joints.  He does a great job.  It's a pleasure to work with people such as Bill and Don that take a great deal of pride in their work.
 We did take the time to make the final adjustments to the rotisserie so the car could be inverted.  As you can see in the photo above,  once the car is inverted it can be easily cleaned and repaired with minimal risk. As shown in the photo below, while the car was on its side, I used a die grinder with a fiber wheel to spot check the general condition of the frame and floors.  Notice the shiny metal under the red paint...that, is a very good sign.  Can't wait to clean and blast...Monday, if it doesn't rain.
    
I love my work,
Tom McCurry
