Re: Wampus Cat
More paint stripping and body work.
I've been stripping the cab exterior and interior with cup wire wheels on a grinder, but my brother suggested that I look in to media blasting for some of the other parts.
I took the hood, doors, grill, and a couple other items to a wet media blaster and the results were very good.
I think I can repair most of the newly uncovered rust, dents, and old dent-pull-holes with the welder and some fabricated patches.
However the lower nose of the hood is pretty far gone and has multiple curves that I probably can't duplicate in a fabricated patch so I've ordered a replacement. Found a pretty good deal on eBay through CarID with free shipping for a TriPlus™ Lower Hood Repair Panel (302-4060-1) by Auto Metal Direct®. Will show the install of this panel in an upcoming post.
