Thankyou! The whole process is actually very fullfilling. I find i pickup a sanding block and cant put it down.

When in the shop music is required! Im also spoiled with a TV, but thats more a winter time thing when its cold out.

Default Drivers Door

This was a pretty decent door out of Missouri. However it did have some pin holes in the corners from dirt sitting in corners. Door a a supper deep dent just in front of the mirror that strected the metal.

This door had to get the acid treatment was well. It was all pretty light, but needed regardless. After acid neutralize, wire wheel and DA the first pictures shows its ready for dent removal and make sure its flat/curved across. Second picture is another day where the inside edges, and inner structured were blasted and primed.

Brings smiles to take something that looks hideous and transfome it back to a clean door.

Thanks again for posting these pics Rick. It’s one thing to have the talent to restore these cars, but to take the time and document the journey is much appreciated.

Default Decklid

Its always a much more relaxing restoration when working with very clean rust free metal. The decklid is original but had alot of dents along the edge between the tail lights. Someone also really bent and twisted the lock cutout. Couple hours with the dent puller and some very gentle hammer work on the lock area and this deck lid really came back into shape easier than I thought.

So nice to only have to remove one coat of paint.

Deck line had alot of Lacquer checking so it recieved same acid and clean treatment as the doors.

Default Body Sand Blasting

Unlike the frame the body is quite the olympic event in sand blasting. Made a pretty good dent this weekend considering I did a door and part of the deck lid edges Saturday. I also spent some time fishing with dad today, but as im sure anyone knows fishing with dad takes precedence over car work.

I cant continue to express how happy i am with this car. It is absurdly clean, rust, and pit free. Hopefully next weekend i can get the trunk, cowl and inside the cab complete.

Default Frame Assembly - Fuel and Brake Lines

With the rainy weather its time to start having transition days where i work only inside. Car body was fully sand blasted and ready for finish work in the spring.

Installed both Brake and fuel lines. Brake line required alot of massaging to get into place, fuel line almost dropped right in place. Not sure why but Right Stuff left the fuel and brake lines long which mean modifications to the ends. Last picture is inline with the amount of fuel line sticking out on the originals it took off.

Even managed installing motor mounts and rear snubber. Still waiting on some layout fluid for the front cross over brake line clips.
