First Day on the Job

First of all- I will figure out why these photos aren't in the right order.

Well, today was my first day. I worked from 9am-6pm with a short lunch, and two coffee breaks (which are mandatory at this shop). These are photos of the first Powell. Not sure if the other Powell to be restored is the wagon, or the other truck. I scraped undercoating mostly all day. We're trying to get the body scraped and ready to be sent to the sand blaster this week. The body is currently on a rotisserie so we can turn the body over so I can scrap better. I scraped with a torch for the hard to get curved areas, but I also used a ball peen hammer and some good ol' muscle. I got most of the undercoating off of the rear quarters, and underside of the cab. I also grinded off some rust on a driveshaft, which is in DP primer right now. I'll take some pictures and post those up soon. Tomorrow is another busy day of scraping.
