Got the car out of the trailer today to clean it up and strip the inside so when I get the call to take it to Pulera's for Body/Paint.....it will be ready......Again....there is good and bad after stripping.....but....I think there is more good than bad.....
Here are the bad pic's.....

And.....as I was working on the car today I could almost hear it telling me "Thank You" for getting me out of Nu Yawk....LOL

Ken, i like there body work theory. Weld metal over top of rust. Why cut the rust out when you no longer can see it, the rust must be gone.

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Did some more dis assembly today.....took the rest of the front sheetmetal off and things ended up being better than expected.....all the Body mounts are in great shape.....the only issue is the lower fender mount on the passenger side will need to be replaced.......the mounting surface was rusted away and the body shop (LOL) that repaired the fenders just tack welded the lower portion of the fender to the body......Nu Yawk's finest.......the original cowl paint behind the fender cleaned up very nicely.......Here's some pic's from today...

That's the rare &quot;Y&quot; for New Yawk, code.
