STRIPPING PAINT

Bill worked most of the day stripping body parts.  Close of business today, both doors, hood, trunk lid, front valence and the right rear fender are ready for primer.  Weather permitting, these parts will be coated tomorrow.  Amazingly there was no rust on the bottom of the rear fender.  Since the fenders on the Big Healeys are exposed to the elements, and seem to  trap water and dirt, one would expect more damage.  
The moral to this story is, if you own a Big Healey, keep it in dry storage for 41 years and it will not rust.

Photos of the primer work will be posted tomorrow.

Y'all come back now...Ya' hear?
