    Cleaned all the parts off of it. Funny how it becomes a shelf in the winter.

    Primed a fender and a door.. Sealed the door up after the rust killer stuff.. Now tarting the work on it, needs more work than I thought.. Got it pretty close though so now with a coat of slick sand it should be super perdy.
    Had to abandon it pretty early in the day though as my dad needed a hand putting in his new kitchen cabinets/island.

    I got inspired yesterday and dropped the gas tank out, as I had a sneaking suspicion that it needs to be cleaned out. Which it does, badly. Now I have to find a place that will boil/clean it without having to cut a hole in it.

    Did you end up having the Comet shipped to you from Oregon or did you find another one ?

    I hated to see you have to sell it after all the work you did on it, hope you have it
