    Great pics HemiHunter!  The rust issues don't look so bad from here.  Hopefully they won't turn out to be much worse after being blasted.  Keep the pics coming...it's encouragement for all of us!

    If you get that done for the spring show, I am going to be seriously jealous.  :grinyes:
    It does look like it will be a good project and lets hope there are no huge surprises after getting it blasted.

    That's awesome Hemi Hunter!  It's going to look really nice when you're finished!  Remember to satisfy our photo hunger with plenty of photos while you go through the next steps. ;)
