Restification Begins

What had intended to be a few weeks between disassembly and the beginning of restoration turned into many months as the car sat while our new house was being built and all the move-in confusion finally ebbed. Late 2013 was my first completion goal, but here it is November 2013 and I barely have a start. This past September I finally brought the body to MetalRehab in Fort Worth for cleaning and de-rusting by dipping in a non-toxic citrus based solution. A month later it was back with all the old paint, fillers, and undercoating removed. While the results were satisfying, the rust removal made it clear that I had more metal replacement needed than I had first estimated.
