Amazing!
I've had it since 2012, I got it shortly after I got the converible, I have used it a million times and it has lived out in the rain/snow/mud, I actually just bolted it down for the first time since I've had it last week.
I use it all the time and would recommend one for anyone who enjoys sheet metal work.
Anywho....

You are doing excellent.
I'm picky....I leave no rust behind...
Worth looking back through 5 or 6 pages of this so far... Nick, you've done some amazing work there. I can't imagine there would have been many others willing to save Dennis once they saw how little was there to work with...

When I need surgery I'm coming to see you, not the hospital.

The before and after shots really put it into perspective. Impressive!

Very nice work sir! I'm impressed. This is an exercise in patience.
It looks like there's still some well-entrenched surface rust on the sheet metal before it's getting primed. Unless this is a temporary prime coat, I'd recommend blasting them thoroughly and treating with phosphoric acid based etch, then epoxy primer. Rust always come back, I learned that the hard way!

The car has a special place in my heart.
It was the first classic car I was able to rescue and put some miles on.
Its all been treated with a rust converter. Hense it's grey hue.
Then top coated with self etch, and finally a coat of epoxy.
Once painted, rust will never read its head again.
I figure it took 45 years of neglect and winter driving to cause this. Those are things the car will never have to worry about again.

Working on doing what's left of de-rusting everything from the windshield forward..
I sandblasted some donor parts and spliced them in.

Looks like your getting close, good work.
Hopefully will have a complete firewall by the weekend so I can roll the stub out...
