Default Warning: Don't try this at home kids.

I was finally able to get down to my dad's place and pick up the '28 Business Coupe. My plan was to bring it back to my house in the back of my Blazer and I actually managed to get it done with no damage to anything.

Can't wait to see new paint going on the parts.
It just makes me sick to see what fire does to things.

I just finished unloading the car from the blazer and put a bunch of parts back in the blazer to take over to a friend's place for blasting. Once I have them cleaned up, they get primered and put away.

I was hoping that the rear axle wasn't bent, but it is. So, I get to find another rearend for the car. Oh well.

Hopefully, I can get some stuff going on the car starting next week.
