We picked up CSX-T #764.
It looks like hell, but has no rust, other than the surface rust on the roof and hood. The bottom of the car looks 100% better than the top. Even the brake lines are clean.
The engine runs, but builds backpressure after running for a bit. Must be out of time or have a valvetrain issue. We picked up another engine from an '88 Daytona C/S and we have all the parts lying around to go T-II style intercooled with it.
Should be done for SDAC #23

Keep saving and restoring. Awesome stuff.
awesome on the backpressure thing check the Cat, we have had a few cars get plugged cats after sitting for a while.
You guys are animals they way you restore cars. Very impressive.
The goal is to get one of each Whittier car.
Nice! So is this one a keeper?
More than likely. We have a hard time letting go.Originally Posted by omni_840
After four hours of sanding we found no surprises, filler or major collision damage.
Nice.

2 guys, One with 36, one following behind with 80.You knocked that down in 4 hrs? How many of you were on it? What grit paper? Damn, that looks like a solid day of sanding to me!
Plus the fact that mother nature removed 90% of the paint before we started.
Cool, makes total sense since the clear is whats going to plug up your paper. I'll have to look for that mother nature trick more often! lol

Now with primer. I still have to do the bodywork on the doors and fix the grille, but it's nice to see it primed.
Doors are done too.
Nice work there!
