Summer Internship Objective:

Every year LeMay Restorations has at least one feature car restored for their annual car show in Tacoma, WA. This year we have two 1956 Powell's. Our goal is to have these cars restored and driven onto the show field on car show day, August 28th 2010. Will we complete these cars on time? ...

Keep checking this blog to find out!

Quick Note:

LeMay Restorations is a completely separate entity from the LeMay-America's Car Museum. The two Powell's are family owned and restored at their private shop. The museum is a not for profit organization.

July 14th- Painting and metal working

This past week I've been making straps to strengthen the rear quarter panels. Jeremy has been my mentor, showing me metal working and answering all of my questions. We also strengthened the rear quarters by adding 1/2 steel dowels to the wheel wells.

I've been getting so frustrated with wanting to prime the rear so we can finally start skim coating body filler that Jeremy, and I stayed a little later and primed the rear. It also helps to keep rust away. I have to admit that I'm getting pretty proud of myself for only running the primer in one tiny spot on the upper kick panel where no one will see it.

Priming the Powell

Done priming the back. Time to work with the front fenders and strengthening those up.
