It's great to see some solid steel in place of the rot. Looking good and worth the wait, eh Fitz?

Ok good news!

I went to the bodyman's shop and he sandblast the frame this week-end, fit on the body to see if everything fit OK and paint it and I'll pick up it to the house for reassembling process in 2 or 3 weeks!!!!!!

Let you inform as soon as possible.

Also I work a lot on my website, it's a time consuming job, I did not imagine how much time you have to be sit in front of your PC. But it worth it, I think. The CIE is officialy born today.

Hi everyone,

for the web site side, it must be online "yesterday'', but I think tonight or tomorrow should be done.

I'll post the link in my profile as soon as the "online" in effective.

On the sandblast side, late again, it must be ......I know....i know no  this week-end!!!!!!!!

The sandblast man is not in a hurry for me and the bodyman. Anyway, I have to wait.

This week-end with Jonathan (they film us for the BB\BS association, maybe I can give you the link if you want ot see us) we paint some small parts, like starter, torsion bar, steering box (it was very dirty). Some picture from our work.

Yes, I painted it myself, with urethane paint.

I should have a BBQ to do this but I use chainbloc, it was not easy to paint everywhere, so I have to do some light touch up this weekend...

Nice work!
Was thinking that you might want to add a extra layer of sheet metal and tack it in around your holes where the tank straps bolt in. Mine are allready streached out pretty bad. One of those after thought things.

I realize know how I've been lucky with this car, running it hardly for 11 years with all this rust, not only where the tank bolts in but everywhere else. Today when I see all this work done on the body (and frame), I know I was lucky to run the car,  the body and the frame stopping somewhere at the same place same time.....
