Day 3- the rust project

Well, I basically went straight out to the shop today after school to start working on it, and I did nothing but clean. WOW! Austin says this thing will be done by the time i get my permit (in March, but I have a feeling the car's going to be done and ready to drive and I won't be able to drive it yet because there's still so much cleaning to be done! Yes, this cars' main problem I think is there's so much rust! That's ok though, that's my main job on this thing, so more for me to do. But the good news is that I got ALL the yucky carpet out and got it down to the metal in the back. Bad news is that I spent about an hour scraping rust off the floor in the front and only got about 5 sq inches of it off. So I quite aways to go with the rust. In all this I did discover something! The cars' original color was yellow, and then apparently was painted pink, and obviously again painted to its' current color, red.

Also, Austin got the gas tank all painted and done and put back in its place, which is nice. We discovered that the blinkers aren't working properly though, but that's and easy job. So even though it seems like the rust will never end, I think it will be easier than I think (fingers crossed). Anyways, thanks for tuning in and keep checking!
