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)

Picked up the chassis and doors yesterday.
I'm very happy with the paint texture and color. Today I installed the wiper assembly and wired and tested it. Also installed windshield trim clips and various rubber plugs and other bits. Need to find some parts in storage or order them to continue with windshield and rear glass install. Think I can make it to Ockteenerfest ? Attached thumbnail(s)
