I good time to get some HushMat in those hard to reach areas while on the rotisserie. This product lays down nice and stays put.

Looks great! You work quickly

**Bob in St. Louis** · 10-29-2025

This is incredible, thanks for taking us along for the ride!

What do you think of the chemical dipping ? I've got a 70 challenger with quite a bit of rust. Debating on media blasting or dipping.

A few shops have told be the chemicals seem to drip out over time. Whats been your experience with this car ? thanks Eric

I have not seen any evidense of left over chemicals. Takes some careful prep prior to body work but you start with a clean slate. Other builds I had blasted have sand dripping out for years.

Early Christmas in November? Someones been in Santa's good books. Moving forward on this build with lots of nice parts!
Just one thing........some of the pics need to be rotated as to avoid me getting a sore neck.
One Christmas I asked my wife to get me a gift card for Tirerack after my LS conversion.......you're gonna need one.
