1970 Dart Swinger FINALLY UNDERWAY
Now that my two weeks off is over I haven't had as many entire days to spend in the garage. I'm working at the library in the city now as an evening guard, kind of cool the secret stuff you never see thats hidden in old library buildings. The one I'm at now has three basement levels and a boiler room underground full of archives back to the 17/1800s, which can only be accessed from a hidden staircase separate from the main flight of stairs. It's also very dark and dusty down there. Still pretty neat though. :happy2:
I've been spending most of my time on the car getting all the minor here-and-there bits stripped out of it. Removed the windows and regulators, door panels, body plugs, and a couple other small things.
The big project, the one that took up the most time, and that I probably should have used some kind of respirator for. Was heating up that 1/2in layer of undercoating with a propane torch and then scraping it off. Since the car is getting media blasted its going to save a lot of time at the blaster not to mention $$$ to get that stuff off.
Pics time!
And the finale for today!
It's been raining steadily so I had to cover the car up while I waited.
The owner of the body shop showed up with a rollback to haul the car off to his shop, bye bye for now.
Next time I see it will be after it's put on the rotisserie and media blasted next week,
I'm so excited :blob: I think the color I will be going with now is officially F8 dark/ivy green. I'm now looking for a go-wing and a dual snorkel scoop.
On a more random blog-ish note, did a little unintentional 6x6 mud slinging last weekend haha :cheers:
