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.

December 30th, 2010

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.
