Day three...dragged the car down to the sandblaster at 6:00 am

And picked it up at noon. Very reasonable price...and they said I could keep the media that is stored inside the car.



Surprises...

1) some body work on the left side quarter panel...will need to be removed and taken down to bare metal before the LWB flares get added
2) rear shelf more "perforated" than previously thought...just will require a larger patch
3) rockers are damaged, but can be repaired vs replaced...I had anticipated replacing both sides.

4) jack points solid on both sides
5) fender wings in decent shape...right side requires small patch.
6) front bonnet in decent shape
7) rear seat buckets more perforated than estimated...both will need to be replaced


8) rust holes in left rear quarter below window will require patching
9) rear window lower corners are solid
10) doors are in great shape
11) pedal cluster area on pan was only oxcidized...not rusted

I threw a bunch of extra small parts at the blaster...pedals cluster, suspension pan cover, engine mounts and pulley housing, alternator strap, engine tin etc
