got a little bit done today to the 40. and took alot of the parts to get acid dipped in simpsonville i decided not to get sandblasted cause i wanted to be sure to get in the hollow places as well. i dont know what the price is yet , but if it is reasonble i might do the tub too. here are a couple of pics i found alot of filler in the truck but what can you do. here are some pics not very good but there will be more to follow .

still waiting on my parts to come back from acid dip. is this suppose to take so long? anyone have any experience with this?
From what i know of the process the time it takes depends on parts. How many layers of paint bondo and crud they have to get through..... We did a TR6 when i was in High school and it took a while. Car was in bad shape.
