yea wylee it's painstaking, but it's coming.....lot of hand sanding with 220 grit and then cleaned her up with adhesive cleaner. The sanding phase on the dash is pretty close to being done.

what color are you going use?

well dodge man, I was thinking of doing the original color.I'll have to get the color code off the tag on the drivers door, look it up on the web and get back to you. My guess it's a cream or light yellow.......

it will come out better when you take your time, lookin good,,

getting closer.........

Coupe, your getting there man. Just think, once your all done, you've got all these pics to remind you of all the hard work you put into it. I can't believe how far you've gotten on this project. Just keep the faith and you'll get there. YOU CAN DO IT!!! Please continue sending pics as well so we can be right there with you!
Thanks - Vanny

coupe what are you using on the inside wall to remove the paint??

snap-on tool ,it's got an agressive wire wheel brush. I'll get a better pic for you

Yea vanny, pretty soon I can epoxy primer the old girl.......

it's a snap-on "crud thug" ......you better be sitting down when you look it up and see the price. I've seen similar tool for almost half the price as the snap-on tool.Mine was $435.00 with all the different wheels and that was yrs ago.....

Every time I get on the snap on truck I always ask if the price includes a pair of lips! Buythe best, cry once! With that said, project looks good!!

had my nose stuck on another project, but now I'm on the van for a while...did some more on the sides and floor....

Looking good. Hows the entertainment value of that job holding out?

Joel

At least he has a chair to sit on. Otherwise, the knees would take a beating!

just do a little every day and it will get done before you know it,

Coupe,if you get tired of the Crud Thug, maybe you could try this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=__qOY9hcm64

Hey vanny...thanks, I do have it pretty good.....also the rug you see in the last pictures is for my old knees
camping'fool 2....no entertainment now,it comes later when I start spraying.....
dix...your so right, little by little it will get done

floor all wire brushed.....found two issues....the gas pedal issue is the worst. The rod attached to the gas pedal under the rotten floor rotates.I'll have to think about this for a bit.I'd like to shove a piece of thick copper under the rotten floor board between the floor and rod and then weld the rot on low amps. I'll sleep on it.
I also got 25% of the ceiling done......can't wait to finish this part up......

Sometimes it's best to take a break, walk away and think it through. Man, you really made some major progress quickly. It won't be long now. Great work, Coupe! Once again, thanks for the pics.

not much rust left, it looks real good,

well 98% done, just some inside crevice and touch up work left.....also some rot repair.....the gas pedal floor rot is not an easy quick fix. There's a rubber "grommet" on the side of the pedal swivel bar, so I'll have to protect that from the heat. All luxury problems.......

Making great strides there, Coupe! Almost there!
