Starting on body work
Once the body was stripped to a shell, the outside was hand sanded to bare metal and the interior was media blasted. Then the body was coated in primer while it waited for repairs to begin. Some minor repairs were made during this time.
My grandfather had installed aftermarket trim in the early 70s, likely to make the car look like a late model variety. Parts of this trim was missing and it wasn't period correct so I had it removed and the holes welded.
As the car came apart, more rust was discovered.
Here you can see evidence of past body work on the fender. This was previously hidden under bondo.
Its at this point that I made my first "customization" -- I had the reflectors on the front and back removed by welding up the holes.
