Day 44 – Removing part of the quarter panel

So it’s time to start cutting the important pieces off, like the quarters. There is a sort of nervous feeling at first when you take an air chisel, stab into the body, pull the trigger and 90 pounds per square inch of air pressure cut through your car like hot knife through butter. But after you carve off that first part of car flesh, you look at it and think, “well there’s no turning back now… “ and you become less timid with what can be scrapped.

As you can see the interior skeleton of the roof is going to need some rust treatment.
