Another side shot of the car with the roof, and front cowl all grinded down. Evidence of the ugly red and silver paint is almost gone, and a clean canvas is emerging. I also finished taking the remaining parts out of passenger door and ground the outside edges off along with the door handle area. Clean, bare steel roof looks great, except for one small area of cancer near the far right hole to secure the sunroof down. I'll have to treat that area with the sandblaster soon. Speaking of sandblasting, I've been seriously considering buying a new dual-stage air compressor. I've used my trusty, red single-stage Craftsman for 10+ years, but I think it may be time to upgrade to a unit that can better handle all my sand & media blasting, especially since I'll be restoring at least 2 more vehicles after this one is completed. I've got my eye on another Craftsman - an upright 80 gallon unit.
