Wow, for that kind of money you could buy your own sandblaster (a good one!), and hire someone to run it.
I bought a harbor freight blaster (about $150) and blasted mine myself- not fast, but got it done.

Crazy that these still work. Too bad the wires are shot I’d reuse them.

ITS ALIVE!!!!!

And running well so far; once I figured out the timing. Don't forget there are two distributor adjustment points, lol!

I plan to drive it out of the garage this week, stay tuned!

Well…too cold to open the garage door!

In the mean time, let me amuse you with a picture of what happens when you start the engine in gear from the engine bay.

Brrr…you can see when the cold air hits the exhaust.

If you’re rebuilding, put the fenders on LAST. I put the right one on to free up shop space but in hind sight I should have brought it in the house.

Would like to see how accurate the model is, once you've opened the kit!
Thanks,
