The tiger has been sandblasted.  The undercoating on my car was going to be=
 impossible to remove without a ton of time and making a horrible mess of t=
he garage, driveway and myself.  So I had it sandblasted inside and out, 10=
0%.  In hindsight the sand removal and clean up was significant and I shoul=
d have skipped the interior sand blast and masked off all the interior hole=
s as I spent a good bit of time getting sand out.  The blaster uses gorilla=
 tape to protect the vin tags.  I am really happy that its all done.  I epo=
xy Primered the car and parts over the weekend to prevent rust from taking =
hold.

Next step is to put the Front and Rear end on the car so it rolls and then =
take it to the frame shop to fix the passenger front rail.  Will let him te=
ll me if I need a replacement or if he can bend it back.  Or the 3rd possib=
ility that the prior repair and alignment is OK, but I don't think that's t=
he case.

The sand blast did uncover significant amounts of bondo.  I think the car w=
as crashed, motor removed and body work completed but then never had the mo=
tor returned.  It was then sold to Steve W, and I bought it in 95.  The pro=
blem is the driver rear fender is in very bad shape, the door is fine (prob=
ably replaced) and the front fender minor damage.  I'm at a cross road as t=
he car has flares (best image of the flares<https://photos.google.com/share=

e rear and transfer the flare?  Do I put a stock fender on and then remove =
the flares from the other 3 piecing in new arches?    Anyone have a driver =
rear fenders for sale plus 3 arches?  Anyone have the same style of steel r=
ear flare tucked away in the garage?
