So time for a little update on my project. I have been working on the dents on the rear driver side door and rear quarter here the car was side swipped at some point in it's past.

The rear 75% of the rear door scallop was collapsed in. So a little hammer and dolly work, a stud welder, and a torch has brought it all pretty much back out. Just a little more metal working to smooth out some of the wrinkles.

I also used the stud welder and the torch to pull the crease out of the rear quarter.

Also included are some pics of the items that blasted with glass bead using the blaster at the school. Throttle linkage, headlight buckets, air vent tubes, wiper motor, and a few other small parts.

Also here is one of the fron drums were I soaked in Evaporust overnight. The inside it now pretty darn clean. It was very rusty before.

The last couple of pics are just pics of the garage and a rear seat bottom I bought to replace the my current one that has a rusted through frame.
