Re: 1940 Packard 120 Convertible Restoration
With the bottom of the trunk separation panel cut out I was ready to start blasting the body, but the rear half was way too weak to be mounted on the rotisserie like it was. I bought more 1" square tubing and used our tubing roller to make more bracing to keep the body in shape while it's off the frame for blasting.
The '68 Chevelle in the background is another shop project, I'll start a thread for it eventually.
I'm about halfway through blasting the body now. Once the weather dries up I'll be able to finish stripping it and shoot epoxy primer.
