I sanded off the pass. side this morning . Not a lot of body work to do ,just some small dings ...in the new fenders :think: and a couple of spots at the end of the quarters ,most of it will not require any bondo when i am finished with it .It's going to get hot again, soon as i get a cooler day i will sand blast the rest or it

My neighbors may not like it .They have kept me awake a few times so its only fair that i wake them up early once . It's only going to get 93 * tomorrow so it shouldn't be to hot . Took it back apart this morning so all i have to do is move it down to the sand pile ,the sand has to be about a foot deep there by now .The places that need blasting are fairly clean and i have already scraped off the tar and any undercoat so i should have it done by noon ,i hope .

Just finished blasting ,almost noon exactly .It took 5 hours to blast with no surprises and came out nice and clean. I didn't try to remove all the red primer that i had sprayed earlier, it was already blasted under that . I have to seal the seams tomorrow and probably primer this week end .

I got a rear end and springs bolted in yesterday ,It is still on the rotisserie. I bought the sand to blast the old front suspension .I was supposed to blast it this morning but i got a little side tracked .I needed a guard dog .
Found one ,picked her up today. I needed something to guard all these heaps. She is a great Pyreness, may be a couple of weeks before she goes on duty though.

I finally got around to blasting the front suspension. I wont be using it but i needed a way to roll the car around after i get it off the rotisserie and my dolly i use will not work and let me fit the nose section,i just didn't want all the grease left on it . I hope to get it down this weekend and start bolting the body back together for final fit and body work.
