That HUP body looks very tidy indeed. Not so sure about the whole rig, though.

I need to get moving on my sandblasting - have a station wagon full of parts to go right now. Still banging dents out of the fenders on the anvil, but figure I can live with a bit of cellulite as long as the lines and curves are tolerably correct.

Blaster tells me he can do the body on the frame if it is all stripped - maybe I will take the floor plates out after all. Got some junk to cut off it yet, too.

Also wrestling the broken right rear spring off - those shackle pins sure came out nice - clean and well greased they were, just took a little hammer and drift work. U-bolt nuts came off slick, too, with the help of a long-term process of soaking with penetrating oil, and a breaker bar.
