The Topside is Void of Paint!

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!
