FINAL TOUCHES...CLEANING SANDBLASTED AREAS

Bill spent half a day preparing the engine bay and the underside of the car for primer.  A few spots were missed by the sandblaster.  It was necessary to "dress" those areas with a power wheel.  After the dust was removed with compressed air, all the surfaces were wiped down with metal cleaner.  The engine bay and underside of the car will be put in primer on Wednesday when the temperature is more favorable.  
Tomorrow the necessary patch panels, that are required to repair some of the minor rust areas, will be fabricated and dry fitted.  There are only three of these areas, but they must be repaired.   
Stay tuned for photos of the car in primer.
