Hey Bill - I am fairly happy with what Scotty has uncovered thus far. Compared to others, this chassis is pretty clean.

I think the fact that this Six was pretty much parked outside for quite some time by the 2nd owner, though covered, who lived near the ocean may have contributed to the small amount of rust this car has. Had it been an Arizona car it would likely be completely clean. But I am not complaining as I knew this was going to be a rotisserie restoration and would need metal work regardless. I am just fortunate that it is in the expert hands of Scotty B.

Started blasting yesterday. I've never stripped a whole car before and grossly under-estimated how long it would take. The sections of body panels I hit went quickly, but all the nooks and crannies seemed to take forever, as the media would build up and I had to clean the stuff out to see what I had and hadn't gotten clean. All the little spots of remaining undercoat and seam sealer were a bitch too. Anyway, the whole underside is nude, as is the front and rear panels and part of the engine bay. Forcast for rain tomorrow so hopefuly Tuesday I can get the trunks, pass compartment, remaining engine bay and outer body done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks Erc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)


I should add that I didn't uncover anything surprising. A few small holes popped up, and some of the spots we already knew were bad, got little worse. The only thing that may be an issue was how the front panel was replaced. I'll need to dig into it alittle more once it is all clean, but it appears the old piece was not completely removed, as there look to be 3 layers of metal around the edges, like the original flange is still there. The panel may need to be removed cleaned up and properly replaced. More on that later

Looks like it is coming along nicely!

Scotty is there a thread on making your rotisserie or do you have dimensions handy?

No I never did a thread on it. This is actualy the second one I built and is much more basic. The other is a lot heavier duty for putting Am cars on and has a bit more adjustments to it. Yuo can see that one in Mark Epstiens thread. I can get measurements this week, but the only ones that are really critical is the length ( height ) of the uprights, and IIRC I have those set at 48", cross leg is 36" and the front leg is 48" Again, these figures are off the top of my head, so I may be remembering wrong (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Thought you had purchased a blaster that left no residue or media?

One day I'm gonna get frustrated and load my pos up and three hour's later be on your doorstep....

Nope A media blast system that left no residue would be an amazing product. Dry ice may not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The one I got doesn't create a lot of overspray to the surrounding area, and won't warp the metal. That is the big plus to this setup

Well color me one happy guy. I love to see my car moving forward in the process and not seeing a ton of damage or rust to have to address. Very exciting indeed. I look forward to seeing the remainder of the car stripped. Not worried about that front panel - if Scotty needs to remove that and reinstall it to make it correct, that is the way it goes.

Oh and it looks like gold '71 Sixes just got a little more rare as this one will soon have no remnants of gold on it at all - for the rest of my life at least. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Be careful blasting the back sides of the hood and trunk. Keep in mi d you're "hammering" the metal and you can't reach the sheet metal behind the stringers. Aggressive blasting from the back can leave an imprint of the stringers on the top surface.
