Thanks and yea I'm excited to get it blasted so I know how bad my wallet will hurt to fix the body. It's not "terrible" but it's not great. What's the saying? Good from far but far from good?

Been working on the car for about 5 days now and accomplished that. I know it will slow down, disassy is always the fastest part!

Definitely will. Hope I can keep the pace up. Goign to be working after work and on weekends starting this upcoming week and I can guarantee I'll miss a couple months in offshore time. Going to try to time it so those months are the ones it's in the body shop.

May push it out of the garage today and power wash the car to get it a little cleaner. Just gotta get the rest of the dash out and the headliner before I do that.

Ok sorry for lack of updates but not much has been happening with the work schedule I've had. Well I got a little "time off" to work (3 weeks between jobs) that I plan to use on the 69!

Car will continue to be stripped this weekend. Going to finish pulling all panels and glass out as well as the body wiring.

Goes in to be media blasted on Monday morning and should be in a "bare" state by the end of the week. Going to get pics of the bare shell to see damage before the self etching primer is completed.

Found a reputable blasting company in the area, so excited to have them do the work!

Time to get back to working on this thing and see what I can get accomplished!

Will definitely keep you posted. I do hope to have some pics later on this week when it's blasted and bare metal. Then you can all criticize and give pointers as to the direction to go (whole new paneles, patch panels, etc).

We'll see!

William
