Some progress

 

[jc71fj40]

Next, break down leafs and load on trailer along with frame for sandblast next week.

 

[jc71fj40]

 

[jc71fj40]

Back from sand blaster.

 

[jc71fj40]

All sandblasted, and frame primed.

Have to figure out what type of paint for the leaves.

 

[jc71fj40]

Frame painted.

 

[jc71fj40]

What a pain...2 almost complete.

 

[jc71fj40]

And the rear axle all cleaned up, painted and ready to go. Just have to figure out the calipers and buy some pads

 

[jc71fj40]

My painters got the rears all done and reassembled. Reasonably priced

 

[jc71fj40]

First patch job...it's gonna take me a while to do all the rust repair

 

[jc71fj40]

One more

 

[jc71fj40]

Little out if order but you get the point

 

[Scott Parsley]

Nice patch. I've got a lot of that stuff coming up on both my Cruisers and I've never done it before. I hope mine come out half that good.

Your painting crew is awesome. I love their "two hands" method! Good distance too.

 

[jc71fj40]

Thanks. I'm sure you will do fine.

 

[jc71fj40]

Started removing the rear sill. Put my crew back to work

 

[jc71fj40]

Even got the wife to help out.
Parts removed were pretty bad.

 

[jc71fj40]

Plan is to fab a piece of maybe 1/4" wall square tube in place of the original bent sheet. Give it a little more ass so it won't fold like a can again.

 

[jc71fj40]

Little more demo...

 

[jc71fj40]

Sort of mocked up

 

[jc71fj40]

No wonder these rust so much, there was about 3" of fine silt in between the body panels right behind the fender well.
