    Bags alone wont get you too close to the ground, you need a lot more work if you wanna go really low, the step notch/kick up in the rear is one, but you need a notch even for a static drop after a certain point....
     
  3. I think I will c notch it , Thanks !

    itll be cool to compair these shots to the pics youll take when it comes back from the blasters!
     
  5. Hope that they know what they're doing.... Have seen some scary results coming from sandblasting companies that don't have a clue!
    Your '53 body loos pretty solid, so I'm sure that you're gonna be okay, as long they're not blasting too much on the outer skinns!

    From what I can see from here, it's not too bad. I've seen worse! At least you tackle it right, first sandblast, then the metal work. Keep us posted on the progress!

    Yeah, looks like a puzzleowrk of patches on that. Doubt you guys in Sweden have the resources of repair panel places like we do here. Im sure you will have it looking straight in no time!

    Make sure you epoxy primer the "good" metal before this starts rusting from being exposed to all elements......
