Oz69fan 10 Report post Posted August 18, 2010 9R01M, Anybody who has taken an engine bay and interior back to bare metal would appreciate how much work you are putting into it. I take my hat off to you. How is your back feeling after being a contortionist? Looks like you have it all under control, but if you need some pointers or info about methods - call across to our shop at Pooraka. Would be good to meet you. Rod.

70mstang 11 Report post Posted August 20, 2010 I think the more time you spend on your back doing it yourself makes you love the end product even more! I spent over 200 hours with a little hand held sand blaster cleaning every inch of my car one inch at a time. LOL Next time I'd look harder to find a company to do it, but I do know every nut & bolt on the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

9RO1M 12 Report post Posted October 30, 2012 Been a while since ive visited this excellent forum and have made considerable progress of late and thought i share it with y'all.First of all a speacial thankyou to Rod better known as Oz69fan on this site for the outstanding effort and finished product his team at Classic Image Restorations did on my car,here in Adelaide South Australia.Super effort guys.So here's some pics.The first pics are of the dodgy 1/4 panel work done by a very dodgy operator.Luke at Classic image set them straight again.
