Floors are dry, the garage is not a complete mess, I see no air hoses laying around. How are you stripping this car rocky?!?!
However you are doing it, it looks like you are doing a great job. you should consider moving these posts to a "rocky resto thread" so they don't get lost in time.

I stripped and refinished the moving parts of the Ramcharger hood. I borrowed a friend's $1000 spray gun to spray the orange. I have never sprayed with a gun like that and it is worth every penny! After the paint dried, Jack performed a detailed inspection of the lid. I have also block sanded the scoop 4 or 5 times now and hope to paint it today. Soon the hood will be together again.

What brand of paint gun and style? Did you have to buy any reproduction parts for the hood assembly?

I don't remember the manufacturer of the gun. It is a gravity feed gun and it was made in Germany. It really sprays nice and there was no dry spray outside of the spray pattern. I'll probably borrow it again sometime. All of the hood parts are original Chrysler. I plan to buy a reproduction hood seal and vacuum lines.

Doin it the old fashioned way eckert, D/A sander with 80 grit, and hopefully the multipaks of sandpaper I keep purchasing wind up just a wee bit cheaper than the quotes I got for media blasting. Just cleaned up the garage with leaf blower before i took the pic

Starting to do the brakes. Noticed the drums are in good shape but found a few cob webs I'm going to drop the trans out and rebuild it, while i replace the diff seal. I noticed a thin spot and a few little holes around a floor plug behind the front seat. I'll be welding in a new piece of metal and then paint all the floors with some rust enamel. I'll post pictures when i get back home and start working on her again. I cleaned the valve covers up with sand paper lol pretty shiny eh, i did put a little polish on them after.

Last thing I did before leaving for a year was put all the neat stuff I bought from Tom inside the car and cover it with a tarp....
