Doors ready

Been procastinating for a while to get the doors ready for sandblasting. Kind of knew it was not going to be fun. Took 2 hours to get the first door ready but the second one was ready in no time, much easier once you know how to wiggle the various mecanism out of the door.

Got all the parts laid out in the basement and some shelves, lots of parts in a spitfire !

Spitfire paint removal

You seriously have to see how easy it is to strip the top layer of paint on flat surfaces.

All you need is a razor blade !
A video is better than words, see below

Spitfire parts

I might have bought a parts car... thanks Mitch !

I now have 2 spitfire projects in the garage, ouch.

Spitfire chassis cleaning

Stripped and cleaned the chassis this weekend. Sprayed degreasant and pressure washed.

Looks like someone used that hole in the chassis to make a little house !

The point of no return

Pretty sure i have reached the point of no return. Body tub was lighter than expected but not so easy to handle so i am happy i had an extra 3 set of arms to help.

Car looks good like that, spitfire low rider !
