Here is a project I started last fall. I said I would never do another project this big and here I am.

wow, that is a project but will be awesome when completed - best of luck to you and please keep us updated (I love these threads).

Looks like you are really getting inside this one

You going for a straight restoration or are you making any significant modifications?

I like having something to do in the Ohio winter months. I started this project with body parts and as I complete parts I store them away. Someone else had done some work on this car before I got it and he died before he finished. Over the years before I got it someone put a coat of gray primer on the car and then there was black rustoleum on body parts. The orange color was epoxy. Under all this stuff was surface rust, some light and some heavy pitting. Getting everything down to bare metal was no easy task because of that epoxy coating over the rust??? I used some big tanks filled with black strap molasses which helped soften the epoxy for sandblasting.
I have had to relearn everything about body products since the last two frame off restoration jobs I did in the 1980s. Back then I was using lacquer and I loved it.
Hi Chris it will be a resto mod for sure because someone else had went in that direction with it. They took it to the point of no return.

Cool project
Any up dates?
