The grill is a dead giveaway dude.  Even without the actual grill the supports give it away.  Now give me my beer.  I like Ricards Honey Brown and you can deliver it.

That can be arranged.
Next time I am in Salmon Arm I will have to stop by and hopefully you won't shank me in the gut.

After a while.. The body is now at the blasters. I'm stripping this pan after I get back from a few days of R&R. More pics soon.

Long time no update. The body is still at Redi-strip. Apparently there is a backlog and such however we will indeed see how much longer it takes....

I stripped the pan earlier this week and its ready to go to the blaster then come back and get cleaned up. However I need to figure out how to remove the torsion arms and bars. Anybody with tips please msg me. Also I'm beginning to get curious as to what if any modifications I need to do to my car for having a Hi-po drivetrain in it.
Cheers,
Kirin

Okay so the body is now blasted...
Next step is to cut a big hole in the roof. As Thrasher Bill would say \"Screw preservation! Hand me that Sawzall!\"

Trust me Bill its tempting. Looking at the price of chromoly tubing these days I may need to cut as many costs as possible.

How much do you think Amco will give me for that hunk of roof metal?  :lol:

Talking to my painter and body guy. It was decided that since the car was sooo incredibly clean it really didn't need a complete sand blast. Redi-strip just attacked the \"problem areas\". Since my car is base+1 paint the original paint is a really good base for more body work since its stuck for 44 years thus far.
Hope that clarifys why we are doing things this way...

Looking good.

I can only hope that when I get there I have half as good metal to start up.
