Got the frame finally in paint. Didn't paint the front bumper, i will paint with the body to make sure paint matches. Got the engine in a proper colour. I will test fire the engine this week on the stand.
On to brake lines and blasting the body panels, cleaning/inspecting the boogies etc. finally over the hump onto assembly

Started on stripping and blasting the firewall. There is welding needed around the windshield frame and at the frame mounting area. Dash is out and after 60 years of beating, it was dented in a few places. Its mostly straightened now

Really nice work.

I cant wait until our new house is finished and I can build our shop so I too can get tinkering. Working in the shop at work doesn't cut it.
