First pass at shredding all the old paint and fillers off this side. I'll go around the entire car again with 80 grit to "clean" things further.

But it feels really good seeing the slate partially wiped clean so I can take a fresh run at the body work and paint.

A lot of things have changed in the past 35 years when this car was last refinished. Better products are available today and more importantly the car is 3 1/2 decades older and that much more desireable. So the expectations are up quite a lot as far as body & paint.

unfortunately I uncovered more problems with the rocker than I thought I was going to find.


But it's ok, it will be fixed correctly when I'm done.


Something clever here.
