Lots of progress made over the past couple of weeks. My main goal was to get the top side of the body stripped. I mostly had it done, with areas I couldn't reach with the wire wheel left to do. The easiest way to get those areas was by sand blasting. I must say I'm not a huge fan of sand blasting...it makes such a huge mess...and no matter what you have covering your eyes...you always seem to get blasting media in there. But the good news...I am done blasting for a bit...at least until I get the body flipped and need to do the bottom. Actually, that is my next goal...get the thing flipped upside down so I can sand the bottom. I think it will go quickly...not nearly as much surface area as the top, and definitely not as many tight areas to blast. Hopefully I can get that done around by the second week of April. Then its replacing a few panel, some body work and then hopefully to paint!
