A lot of work, nobody can realize just how much. Had a friend that would send his frames down to MA (from Auburn, ME); would have entire chassis dipped I believe in caustic soda; completely stripped from inside out and then primer dipped; parts were ready to reassemble at his stove pipe business; would have employees work on his cars during work schedules even; hard to fathom I know, bad news was he never finished anything he started; lower forty was junkyard of partially assembled antiques; nope, never a rr but he had Corvettes, Mustangs, a Chevy and things I never knew about I’m sure......
Went out of business, spent too much on himself and cars? Just left everything, sold off what he could, see if I can go to google and no idea what it looks like today- maybe all cleaned up; be right back. Looks pretty barren, new building in back now (photo), so life goes on; some other business now.
soda blast reveals all. Floors were sort of a surprise but never expected the poor quality quarter that was replaced decades ago. Luckily I have a good body guy who is thinking 40 hours just on the right rear quarter. Rest of car normal stuff trunk, front floors and patch panel on driver quarter. Doors and fenders really decent. Underside in great shape.
Now where is my beer assistant and I need another bag of these chip's!!!!!!!*^%))*^**
Jack they had a gray dip primer which varied in how dark with body color over spray on it. The wheel wells get under coated or if the option was purchased the whole bottom pretty much got coated. Mine is sealed and epoxy primed.
Yep the mud just did not want to come off and is in every nook and cranny. Keep the pic's coming.
