Finally!!!
 

Well after a VERY long night I managed to get the car stripped down to the shell and onto the rotisserie!! After I clean up the garage a bit I can start cleaning and prepping the bottom for paint as well as some finish welding...then it's body and paint time!!

Some may remember that in June I hired a bodyman to do the car, well he turned out to be a flake and the work he did do wasn't acceptable...so I sanded it all back down and will do it myself. I pride myself on learning from others mistakes...sorry Jody I let that lesson slip by!! ;)

Man, after well over three years (off and on) of metal work, I can't beleive paint is just around the corner!!

Looks good! :thumbsup: Did you buy or build your rotisserie?

I built it using a mag article jp sent me, it's the same plan he used for II Much's rotator. With todays steel prices I have around $400 invested, and that includes the rams and casters...better than spending twice that if not more on ebay, and I had fun building it!! :thumbsup:

Congrats on making it to this step! What are you planning on doing to the bottom of the car? (paint, bed liner, color choice, etc)

Good deal Anthony. Would have been nice if you would have learned from my drama, but where's the fun in that? :unibrow:


Jody

Lookin good. That rotisserie will make a suck job (floorpan prep) almost enjoyable. I'm jealous. Lookin' forward to seeing some paint. Keep the pix coming.

Can you post the plans and material list for the rotisserie? That would be way cool. Congrats on the progress. I went to y body man and was disapointed once again with progress. I'm gonna snatch it soon if he don't get on his horse and ride. :mad:

lookin good so far. look forward to seeing the progress!

Thanks Guys!!

Scott, I plan on painting the bottom and inner floor with POR15, I think it will withstand rock chips better than conventional paint and help with rustproofing at the same time. I'll use their simi-gloss black. I'll do all sound deadening on the inside of the car...I just prefer a fully detailed and painted underside over the bed liner look...but that's just what I like!! ;)

Steevo, it did make burning off the undercoating today...well fun!! It only took four hours to get it ready to prep for paint...the only way to fly!! :thumbsup:

Jim, here's the rotisserie plans Sorry to hear you are having painter trouble too!!
