Well done

Get that retired grinder back out on the job. You should have that under carriage done in no time and reverse the entire process and get that body back on the nice freshly restored frame

Dan: I am excited to wire wheel till I drop!!

Darrell: I like that happy dancing guy:-)

Shane that loaned me the brackets shared these pictures of his 1970 Cutlass S W31, so I am not worried about them breaking:-)

We be grinding:-)

I covered or removed the last of the stuff in the garage and got started grinding the floor. I cleaned one stripe at arm height, wow this rotisserie is a magical ergonomic device:-)

The floor is in great shape, a few spots at the rear wheel wells otherwise it looks perfect!!!

Jason: I will only wire wheel to bar metal where there is pitting or rust, the Lansing paint runs will be kept:-) I am so happy with the condition under the Zeibart coating.

Pete: I will have Al over to the house Monday night to check out the progress:-)

Darrell/Dan: My other face shield is much better, I will give it a try tonight:-)

Damien/Helmut/Dave: Thanks for the motivating comments!!!

I can actually see a car in my minds eye.......... for a while I could only see a mountain......... one step at a time!!!!!

This chassis restoration is fun, I can't imagine taking the whole car apart:-(

Ryan

The picture is what I see in my mind:-)

I forgot to mention I invited Al over on our cars birthday 3 27 :-) Same day as Chuck Morse picked up his 69 Chevelle:-)

I got quite a bit of time in the garage tonight:-) this is so easy on a rotisserie and so much cleaner:-)
