Man.......That Red Dirt/Clay from these cars that come from the south is everywhere......After the bottom was given a light coat of paint before going to the Paint Shop, I blew out the inside of the frame rails and got the whole place dirty again, that stuff gets into every nook and cranny.........Any how .......here are some before and after pictures

After Power Washing........That Red dirt harden's like Cement until you knock it off with a wire brush and work it down


Same Area after cleaning









Getting there.....

That car is in some shape ken. Makes it so much more rewarding when you can finish the blasting and see no pits.
She is going to be very nice.
