The firewall came out looking great Gator! Very nicely done! I too prefer the smaller sized Mig's for sheetmetal work, I can do it with my Lincoln 200 but I like the smaller Mig gun and .030 wire on most sheetmetal work.

Thanks for the props.
Yea, I wish I could use the MM250, cause it has a really nice gun, better feel and easier to use. The HF gun feels like a toy but it does get the job done. Looking for an old Miller or Lincoln 110v/90amp machine.

With the new floors and firewall in, my media blaster called and said that he had an opening so I loaded everything up and headed off to the blaster.

Car was blasted with walnut shells and aluminum oxide. It came back looking great.

I wasn't sure what to expect with the blasting finished, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was no additional rust or bondo anywhere on the body, doors or fenders.

Time to get started with skim coating and initial blocking. Looking for all them little pesky dings, bumps and waves. I'm thinking about a two tone champagne over black paint job so I want the body to be dead straight.
