Thanks guys. Let's just say that I am looking VERY forward to the day that I have to clean it!
Dropped off my core support, doors, and fenders at the media blaster today. I am hoping it will start looking like a car within the next 4 weeks!
I also removed the driver's side header (again) as the steering shaft for the rack is clearance issue. I know this may be coming. So I have a "tube" shop re-routing 1 header tube. Of course I will then need to have the headers re-coated.
Oh well, all in the name of progress!!!

Warning: naked parts!
Doors and fenders back from the sandblaster today. The pics are of the totally stripped parts. The doors are unreal. The previous owner had ordered these from the midwest back in the mid-90s (i have the receipt) they are mint!
The fenders are from CA. A small repair required on each one, but they are both in VERY nice shape. Way better than using repro fenders...
...The lighter color on the panels looks like primer, but is actually where the sandblaster used a more aggressive media. Eveything you see is bare metal.
