Well I guess It's about time for an update...I got the body back from media blast on Saturday and I was relieved to find that things weren’t too bad under all that paint.

The blaster did a great job. (Iron Circle Media Blasting in Tracy, CA)


I would never want to do media blast though, on a disassembled car that didn’t go up on a rotisserie. You would be hard pressed to get all the blast media out of it. Even with inverting the body, it still took me a good hour or so of vacuuming and blowing with compressed air and flipping it over and back, to get all the media out of there. It just kept coming out of every little recess in the body.

Both doors have their share of dings, and there is a dent in the sail panel on the passenger’s side quarter that someone filled with bondo, rather than spend any time at all working w/hammer and dolly, so that won’t be too bad to fix.

I shot it with Variprime etching primer to keep it from rusting before I start the bodywork in earnest.
