Great progress, what type of sandblasting setup were you using?

It's just a cheap Harbor freight 110lb unit tied to a 5 horse gas air compressor. It's really a two man operation, One to blast and the other to shake the tank and keep the sand moving. I wouldn't want to use it everyday but it serves it's purpose.
I wish I would have been a little more diligent with the camera so I would have some pictures of the car after it was blasted. |

More Painting. Hoping that my new bushings come in so I can reassemble/install the front end and rip the rear out.

That's a great idea for a drying rack. It's way more fun puting together nicely restored parts than taking apart ugly cruddy old parts!

I just started reading this thread and I'm blown away. You are doing a fantastic job! I'm lovin' the air bag setup. You diffinitely have some talent. The parts hanging from the latter remind me of my suspension rebuild on my American. I spent more time cleaning and painting than the actual rebuild but it's sure worth it. Keep doin what your doin and you'll be done in not time.

Quarter panel Repair.
This is almost identical to the other side which we fixed. I'm terrible at slowing down for a minute to snap a picture so bear with me. ![]() After I welded the panel in. ![]() Obviously there is still some fine grinding to do and the obligatory body work. |

You cut out that little bit of rust? You probably have more filler in the panel from smoothing the welds out than you would have from treating and filling that little bit! Doesn't even look like there was any rust through. But hey, nothing wrong with doing it the way you did, cleaning/treating/filling would have just taken a lot less time and effort. Either way the rust is gone.
