Progress, is slow and painful.

Welcome back. I have been working on the 40 a little bit the last couple weeks.. In my "spare" time.  I moved it into a new location, that I call the "SHOP",  and everybody else calls it something different. 

Anyways, I bought a 180 Amp Mig Welder in hops of learning how to weld and to repair all the rusted steel. There sure is a LOT of steel than needs to be replaced. 

Here are the photos of the last couple weeks..  More will follow, soon I hope.

 

 

 

 

I will update this as soon as I can folks..

Body being primed.

Well, it has been a while, but the body is finally back from the dipper. Jerry has worked a lot on dipping, and stripping on this. Unfortunately, after 37 years, this is his final car.  

 Everybody, had at work.

 Brian, Standing on a Jack Stand, is using a wire wheel to clean in the rain cutters.

 Even dad got into the act and sanded.. Thanks DAD..

 After a day of sanding, all SHINNY....  (with lots of holes to fi now)

ALL clean and dried.. We had a couple days break in the weather so we took it outside to dry in the sun.

 The body is all primed now.. protected for the short term.

 Lindsay wanted to help so she got all dressed up just for this..  She did great for her first try.

I may ad more captions to these photos in the future..  We got the car back to the shop and primed it over the weekend. We were unable to get it inside so it had to be painted with something as it WILL rain in the near future.

Enjoy.. I'll be back in a couple weeks.
