Rocker's 1973 Duster "Clara"

Time for a quick update. So as I had mentioned earlier, I only recently found motivation to start back on my car after a long down period. I like to go to the local cruise each Friday night, then had over to work on little odds and ends for Clara. Well a few months back my wife decides to drop this early Father's Day bomb on me.

Yeah this happened...


So now I really have a purpose! The car was pretty much ready to go except for the trunk, which had been coated with sound deadener by a P.O. It wasn't the prettiest of jobs either. I want this car to be relatively stock looking, so I knew it had to come out. To free up some of the money for other areas, I decided to take this task on myself. With a paint scraper, small wire brush, and a gentle touch...I scraped the whole trunk. I was able to save almost all of the original paint, and seam sealer.

This picture shows the sound deadener I was scraping out. It was everywhere!


Here's the same area "after".


One more shot of the spare tire area all scraped clean.


DTC is finishing up the last details on a Lincoln that beat me into the shop. Once they are done, Clara will be good to go!:cheers:
