Ken I purchased this 1930 Brookville roadster from a man who bought it in 2002, stored it in his garage on a rolling chassis, never drilled one hole in it or did anything with the build. He found a very rare 3 window Plymouth & decided to build it first. Anyway having no idea if moisture got a toe hold under that red oxide primer (porous & can draw moisture allowing rust to hide under there) of Brookville I thought it would be wise (better to be safe than sorry) to media blast the roadster first. I didn't want to put a high end paint job with custom air brushing over the oxide only later to have rust issues. IC2 has a 1931 Brookville and he removed his red oxide only to find many quality control issues and I want my body work to be done right & my paint to last awhile with no hidden surprises!
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
