I love oven cleaner, this stuff is like resto in a can. :-)

I sprayed the hell out of the rad saddle, so it will be clean enough to media blast.

I started to chill on the couch and felt lazy, and felt impending doom..... so at 7:10 I headed off to the igloo and worked till 9:30. I go the bumpers almost totally stripped. All the parts that are going to media blast round two are now ready to media blast. (The rad saddle is too big, they will blast it)

I am ordering parts daily and friends are moving parts from state to state to help me save on shipping. Albert Galdi, Stephen Minore, Anthony Bonafide, and more.

Progress!

I bagged up my hood hinges and slathered them in oven cleaner... they have been in there for a day...... I better see how they turned out :-)

I media blasted all my bumper brackets and front clip parts ready for powdercoat.

I firmed up on my rad recore/restoration... holy bang my wallet Batman!!! Ouch!!

I need to start preparing the front clip fasteners.....

They look awesome to me, mainly the springs need work.

I disassembled the head light buckets, took the springs out of the hinges, and dropped off parts for media blast and powdercoat.
