My Dad has a pressure pot blaster that he's had for longer than I've been alive.

It's a Lindsay brand and looks about like this only much more worn looking!

Nice progress Brandon, did you buy the frame table from Billy?? If so do mind sharing how much? I will have a need for one very soon. :lostmarbles:

Thanks - I did get the frame table from Billy. I honestly don't remember exactly how much. He was making another 1 or 2 of them at the same time and cut me pretty good deal. You'd have to shoot him a message to see if he's going to be building any more and what the price would be. I know he's really busy, so not sure when he'd pull away from customer projects in the shop to build more. I think I may have gotten lucky and caught him at just the right time.

Once I get my car far enough along, maybe I'll rent you mine! ;)

I love the frame table. I wish I had one of those. I got a big laugh out of your daughter recognizing one side had 12 spot welds and the other side didn't. Makes you wonder what the guy at the factory was thinking/doing when he installed it. I wonder if was an early Monday morning or late Friday car?

I just realized I didn't respond to your questions. The firewall and cowl is a rusty mess -- it will all get replaced.

I think what happened on that quarter was that the inner structure for the latch was placed incorrectly and they flexed it into place and then spot-welded the hell out of the quarter to hold it where it belonged.

Well - -it appears that Facebook changed all of the image URL's so none of my pictures show up. I'll try to get them back up using Google + and add some of the new ones.... Damn Facebook - - arghhhhh!

Not sure if anyone can see these, but here is a link to the album on FB.

Here is a public album that I'll be putting all of the pictures in. They are out of order right now, but I'll try to reorder them as I have time.

I will try to update with the latest progress this week as I have time. The Rear DSE Quadralink and mini-tubs are pretty much tack welded and/or screwed into place along with the quarters and tail panel. I've had a few "learning" along the way that I'll try to pass along to anyone else that may be dumb enough to save a car that is this far gone.

Looks great Bradon, I can see the pictures!! This is going to be a kick AZZ car, nice parts selection :relax:

I have a few minutes at lunch so I figured I'd post a few updates. I'll try to catch the thread up over the course of the next week or so.

Disassembly, repair and reconstruction of the rear set drop-off and stock shock x-member. I think at some point this car tossed a driveshaft - - looked like someone went nuts with a sledgehammer!

More test fitting. I may just start tossing pictures in without a ton of commentary to get caught up more quickly. If you have questions, let me know. I'm trying to keep them in close to chronological order.
