It has been an eventful day. The first thing this morning, we moved the car outside and setup the sandblaster. As it turned out, the media I had purchased yesterday was a bit too large for the nozzles on the blaster. I made another trip to Savannah and purchased a finer media. Minutes later, Don was blasting away. For a portable blaster, it really did a great job; or maybe it was Don's expertise.
By the end of the day, Don had about a forth of the car's surfaces done and had used about 500 pounds of media. As you can see, the media removed all rust and paint...down to bare metal. As we expected, the body and frame are in extremely good condition.
Another eight hours or so and we will be ready to clean and prime. I spoke with Tim earlier in the week and I think the color choice has been made. We have another week or so before the finish coats will be applied to the frame. Now you will begin to see the car take shape. Are you excited Tim?
Tomorrow will be spent cleaning the shop.
Stay tuned,
Tom McCurry
