1963 Dodge Dart 270 Convertible for the Wife

Got WAY more done that I was expecting! Picked up the LCA's from the machine shop where Dave changed the bushings and bead blasted them for me.

Then the wife and I got busy in the driveway stripping..... :). No photos but we found the original color of this car was the JJ1 Aqua like the interior! I still can't get her to budge, she wants LL1 dark turquoise.

Both sides are paint free now. Lot of elbow grease, Blackhawk abrasive "cookie" disks and a DA sander is all you need..... This was extra hard as it appears to have had a "restoration" along time ago and it had a skim coat of filler everywhere.

I expected this to occur tomorrow but I we had to remove the engine stand to get at the tail piece and do a good job. Decide to just drag out the blaster and blast this area as it was the worst place left on the car from all the overlapped body joints. I am glad they don't do this anymore, no wonder these rusted away...
