So I postponed the sandblasting until tomorrow since it was supposedly going to rain today...turned out to be a gorgeous rain-free day, but I still got some stuff done. Started stripping the underside with the angle grinder. Got most of the old paint off. I will hit the other areas of the shell with the sand blaster tomorrow.

 RANT TIME!! I was all geared up to sand blast some more this morning and of course there is a slight drizzle coming down, so can't do jack squat until it clears up and the ground dries out. Wet sand and sand blasting tanks don't get along so well.  

And of course since I left my shell outside over night there is some very slight surface rust on some areas, which isn't too big a deal. Just something else to deal with, what's new  Pray for sun to come out soon!

So the sun finally came out and I was able to do some more sand blasting today. Focused on the underside mostly. Still have some spots to do next weekend, but it's 95% done. I did not blast the pass side floor pan since I will be cutting it out.

With surface rust forming on some of the interior from very light rain last night, it looks like I will be using some POR-15 to finish the inside, which is fine. I was not 100% sure how I'd be finishing the inside, but this makes that decision easier
