Dave - Definately diferent from stock!

Today it was back to the grind stone, sander, grinder, and impact screw driver!
I took the underframe out of the hod. I was amazed I got all of the standard screws out without too much hassle. 62 years of rust usually means pain + frustration=skinned knuckles, but I came out intact today!

I managed to strip all of the paint off the hood, and a fair amount off the inside before night fell and I ran out of sand paper for the random orbital! I welded some structural cracks with mixed success. One crak in the sheetmetal would burn two holes for every one I welded back together!
But eventually I managed to shore it up, will need a little filler, but not too bad. All in all it felt good to use a few tools and make some head way. It seems as I progress I find more things that need attention. Best thing is I figure I rather take my time and do it right rather than rush it!
