    This is where the steep driveway got me, time to strip the body down. Most would take it to the blasters and get the body done but I figured with all the stuffing around I would do it by hand. It will also be a lot more gentler to the metal as I dont know what lurks beneith










    hand paint stripping, its character building










    The more I stripped back the more metal I found, AWESOME.
