Frame

OK.. so I don't have pictures today. YES, I forgot the camera at the shop. The from is completely disassembled now. I spoke with Jerry at the dipping place and he will dip it for $60.00 a foot. Not bad.. I get the inside clean now.. it goes up Saturday morning.

Well, it's Sunday. NO FOOTBALL that we need to watch. Cold outside. cleaning to do. Can't get into the shop to work on the 40. This is NOT what i wish for. But, I get time at home. More work tomorrow. Spent the last week working for Bill to pay my rent. it is WELL worth the delay. More updates next week folks.

Body dipping

Just back from the dipper. Small operation, but I believe they do a good job. I saw several products they have done and I will be happy.

Jerry is a nice guy that has been doing this since 1978. He USED to be the Redi-Strip operation. He can handle all big and small jobs. He does all types of cars and trucks. he can NOT do a VW bus as they are too talk for the 6 ft deep tank.

I will finish the TAR removal over the next couple weeks and hopefully deliver the 40 to Jerry in early February.

Wish me luck

OK.. So, i can't figure out HOW to post things in order, and I don't do this everyday. That being said, notice that my comments about photos are AFTER the photos. SO, you got to scroll down to read my witt. or, half witt.

Enjoy.

The doors.

The hood. Stripped, and Primed.

Well, it's been a while since I posted. The 40 is pretty much all apart. What a mess. Eddie, and Stacy are home sick with the stomach flu so I am not at the shop working on the car. I have about 100 photos that I will try to share. A lot of rust shots.

I spoke with Jerry Fisher @ Pennsylvania Metal Cleaning Co., in Monaca, Pa.about dipping the body. He tells me that he can take the body and strip all the rust, paint, bondo, and anything else on the car. it is not a quick process, but he does say everything will be clean. He also says he is about ready for the car. Jerry did say that either he, or i will need to remove all the tar, and sound deadening from the body. Since I work much cheaper than he does, he suggested that i remove it all. this has started, and is no easy task.

I did find an original gas tank for the 40. it is on it's way. NO rot, and a few minor dents. For only $76.00.. WOW.. better than the $450.00 for an aftermarket one. The EBAY store with the gas tank also has original rockers.. in and out.. We are communicating on cost and how much he cuts out of his car. We shall see. I bid on running boards, but was out bid at the last minutes.

Many more hours of tar removal left. The body should be ready for transportation in mid January.
