Picked up the Powder Coated Parts

I picked up my parts from Radiant Powder Coating today. They did a really nice job on the parts. It is amazing looking at these parts that they are over 50 years old---they really look like they are brand new. Attached are a few pictures.

Completely Disasembled

So it has been a while since my last post--work and life seems to sometimes get in the way. Over the last several months we have completely dismantled the Hornet. With the exception of the front and rear glass it is ready to head to be media blasted.



Here is a picture of the inside of the car a month or so ago:





We located a powder coating company and dropped of a load of all of the inner fender well parts and the radiator supports last week. They should be ready to pick up in the next few days.

A few items have been sent off to have work done on them. All of the stainless was sent out to be straightened and polished.



Rick Monroe stopped off in Phoenix right after the New Year and picked it up. Should be ready in a month or so.

Also have just about all of the chrome on the car re-plated. We will picking up most of it at the Hudson meet in a few weeks.

The next big step is getting the car media blasted and then the body work done. There is minimal body work that will need to be done---but I am trying to figure out if it is best left to a pro or if it is something that I can have done at a reasonable price in Phoenix.

We are heading to the Hudson Western Regional Meet in Yosemite in a few weeks.
