Sandblasting

I reached out to my pal John to see if I could sandblast a few parts over at his awesome garage. I'll have to throw a pic up of the garage artwork next time I get a chance. He has a HUGE sand blasting cabinet that I'm using to clean up a few of the smaller parts, such as the hood latch and bumper brackets. I might even try to fit the front core support in there and see how that comes out.

Rear Window - done!

I think that I have finally finished all of the sheet metal welding now, including the new rear window channel. I now have to finish all the rest of the mock-up, and make sure the panels fit, the gaps are aligned, and start hammering out any other dents and dings. If the weather was warmer, I'd be able to shoot some epoxy primer on it, but I guess I'll have to wait.

Rear Window

No, I'm not talking about the classic movie, Zach and I have been creating the patch panel for the rear window of the 66 Chevelle. It may have taken a lot of test fitting, but I think we got a nice panel piece to fit, and I almost have it welded completely in. I ran out of welding gas...figures. Tomorrow I am running down to IWS to get a new tank of Argon/CO2, and will finish up the last major patch panel on the car. The photo here is just what was cut out, prior to the new piece. I have a few small pieces yet to do, they shouldn't take long.

New Chevy Commercial

I recently came across this new Chevy Commercial, "My Dad's Car", and was touched. I found an extended version, and though I'd share it here...

Wheel stand of the year!

Tommy stopped by to tell me about Marc's amazing wheel stand at the Englishtown Mean Street Top Street Shootout last week....check this out. The announcer said it was the best wheel stand he has seen this year.
