Re: 1969 Father & Son Project

We've made a little progress since the last post. The cold weather and snow makes it a little hard getting motivated, especially since it takes the garage a while to get up to a comfortable temperature. We received about 20" of snow (can you spot the chassis in the snow pic) on the East just before Christmas and some of it is still piled up and the temperatures have been well below average.

To proceed with the sand blasting, we made a makeshift booth out of heavy gage plastic in the garage. Surprisingly, it worked pretty damn good. We also got both of the drip rails on. It looked simple enough to get those on when we started but they turned out to be a pain in the backside.

After the blasting, and deciding we didn't like the Swiss cheese look, we order a patch panel for the front of the inner roof from Athey's. When I called Bill this past Saturday, he said he couldn't place the ordered until Monday and it would take about a week to come in. To my surprise, he called to tonight and said the panel was in already. Going to pay him a visit Thursday and pick it up. Three days, that’s what I call service! I'll post pics once we get the panel installed.
