As you can see here, the rear quarters need to be cut off and replaced. This is the left rear. The right rear looks exactly the same way.
Less rust than you would expect a car that is 56 years old in Michigan.
The new sandblaster in action.
The body is looking great overall once the surface has been removed.
All sheet metal has been purchased. Cutting and replacing will start soon and then primer.
We have sand blasted for the second time, the car is cleaning up nice. Most likely I will finish up with a third and final time, its kinda one of them deals where you blast and re-evaluate where you need to concentrate. I also started to sand all the flat areas, that is some tuff ass paint they sprayed back then! All the sheet metal is here and is standing by to be welded on, after primer is sprayed. All in all our little project is coming along nicely. My plan is to button up the prepping, and spend the long winter months hibernating in the barn with the Millermatic.
