Several weeks ago I had posted a questions about selecting a good wiring harness. Several responded that helped me make a selection (American Auto Wire).

Again, thanks to those that responded.

This message is simply an effort to update those that are interested. Felt guilty not sending somehing in about this.

Decission was made to blast the car. Spent much time getting pricing. Spent even more time recoverying from price shock.

Anyway, since this is a driver I made the decission to blast using sand. Yes I know...there are many views on this. Many articles were read and I talked to many people. The person doing this blast has been at it for 28 years. He has done several of these cars plus many others. Visited with 14 of his customers. After reading all and thinking about the sand issue, I simply decided that if the operator knows what he is doing, it can be done well. So I will take this gamble and see how it goes.

Oh yes, something that helped me make that decission: 1) blast, 2) seal, 4) prime, 5) paint chassis semi-gloss black. This for $750.00 max including a guarantee against damage by warping. Had to take the chance.

Most of car will be taken apart before blasting. engine and trans is out and I have removed most of the chassis and suspension components that will be replaced with new stuff.

Once done there. Bodyshop time.

Everyone enjoy the holidays!
