Street Freak Rambler build

[LetsFNgo]

Well…
I was going to post an update where I was very excited. All day today was spent getting the car media blasted. Top and bottom. Mostly because I wanted to remove all the factory undercoating and I figured since I’m keeping this car for the long haul I’d get the topside blasted to have all fresh metal to start with.

I guess that ended up being a mistake because everything is warped now. It wasn’t noticeable until a couple hours later and everything was out of the sun and cooled off, but the roof, nice original trunklid, doors, and quarters to the gasser are all warped. I guess I should’ve known everything was going too well.

I’m sure it all can be fixed and I’m trying really hard not to be incredibly disappointed about everything being damaged. I spent good money with a guy who swore he’s had experience blasting cars and wasn’t worried about it. I’ll probably have an update once the car is in epoxy primer and I can start figuring out where to begin with the mountain of bodywork I just created for myself.

Sorry for the long read.
