The tiger has been sandblasted. The undercoating on my car was going to be
impossible to remove without a ton of time and making a horrible mess of the
garage, driveway and myself. So I had it sandblasted inside and out, 100%. In
hindsight the sand removal and clean up was significant and I should have
skipped the interior sand blast and masked off all the interior holes as I
spent a good bit of time getting sand out. The blaster uses gorilla tape to
protect the vin tags. I am really happy that its all done. I epoxy Primered
the car and parts over the weekend to prevent rust from taking hold.
Next step is to put the Front and Rear end on the car so it rolls and then take
it to the frame shop to fix the passenger front rail. Will let him tell me if
I need a replacement or if he can bend it back. Or the 3rd possibility that
the prior repair and alignment is OK, but I don't think that's the case.
The sand blast did uncover significant amounts of bondo. I think the car was
crashed, motor removed and body work completed but then never had the motor
returned. It was then sold to Steve W, and I bought it in 95. The problem is
the driver rear fender is in very bad shape, the door is fine (probably
replaced) and the front fender minor damage. I'm at a cross road as the car
has flares (best image of the flares) at all 4 corners. Do I seek out a donor
fender for the rear and transfer the flare? Do I put a stock fender on and
then remove the flares from the other 3 piecing in new arches? Anyone have a
driver rear fenders for sale plus 3 arches? Anyone have the same style of
steel rear flare tucked away in the garage?
