    It is always fun watching an old wagon get a new life. Every picture tells its own story so don't hold back...........

    My wife thinks I get excited over the wrong things. Oh well..........

    Yes, you are very pushy. [​IMG]

    I have no pictures yet, but it IS on the rotissory, and it was taken to the sand blasters this morning. VERY STOKED. Metal repair commences on Monday when it comes back to the body shop.

    I'm getting giddy. It is very possible it will be ready to go for the summer. That would be nice. But not gonna hold my breath. But thats coming from my body guy.

    More pictures to follow as soon as I get em.

    Great looking wagon! It's good to see several different wagons coming back to life.

    So on Monday, My buddy Brent went to the shop and loaded my car onto his trailer, and off to the sand blasters it goes.

    Some cell phone pix.

    No, the CAR should be done by the summer. The car came back from the blasters today. And my bodyman was very optimistic. There were no new spots that need work, which is what the blasting usually reveals. His biggest worry spots were the window channels. They are in great shape. And THAT, takes away alot of hours of work. So good news there.

    Anyway, I got a couple pictures from today.

    Awww, now that's what I like to see! All that awful green and purple gone forever, and now just beautiful clean steel.
    You really got down to business on this quick! My hat is off to you! :tiphat:
    It looks fantastic!

    OH boy, a wagon in lingerie.......:49:

    So exciting

    It sure looks good. Ready for this summer is excellent. With 5 months to go a tremendous amount can be accomplished. Keep those pictures coming so we can all get a bit of enthusiasm going in our own shops.

    I consider primer to be lingerie - paint is fancy dress, and a just blasted car to be = I'd better quit before I put something here that will have me banned for days and if my wife should read it I'll be wearing a bruise as well
