Big day for my GT project.
Getting a combination soda blast and garnet blast on my bare chassis and all the removable panels. The baking soda is used to remove paint and is suitable for the body panels. The garnet is much more course and removes surface rust on the undersides. I hope I did enough to keep it out of the longs and all the other cavities. Fingers crossed. Attached image(s)

Off the chassis cart today !!
Since the bottom was painted..... Fabricated mounts for fiberglass bumpers which needed much massage to look and fit acceptably. Modified the front for the oil cooler inlet. Fabed mounts for glass rockers so no rivets will be used along the door sill. Rivets or screws along that edge don't get along very well with fiberglass. Or the door seal. Modified a very deep aftermarket front spoiler to mimic a LE unit, had to extend each side for GT fenders and made an inlet for GT oil cooler. I hope it looks good, It's about 1" deeper than a stock LE Today it sits on temporary suspension and wheels waiting to go for paint. All the refinished suspension, engine (an alum 2.0 6 for now) and trans are ready to go. Used the lift (with my brothers '57 Speedster on it ! ) to lower the rear and a motorcycle jack at the front.
