1956 International Restoration 120 Series: the beautification process begins

The large body panels and shell were not sandblasted - due to the damage that can happen, so I carefully stripped the original paint form the areas needing repairs to start.


The top of the cab had a large dent that was never properly repaired, just filled.


Of course it's double-walled on the inside, which explains the lack of effort in the original  repair


Passenger lower door will have new metal spliced in - 


Let the SPARKS fly!




Under the cab the transfer case was still packed with a cement-like mud substance - which took nearly an hour to remove :(  Below you can see the area the sand- blaster couldn't penetrate.
