Well, I almost shed a tear. My baby was towed off to get soda blasted in preparation for paint and body work. Just before the flatbed came out: ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_1.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_1.jpg) A few of it on the truck: ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_2.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_2.jpg) ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_3.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_3.jpg) Sightseeing down Delaware Ave: ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_4.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_4.jpg) Heading down the 33: ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_5.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_5.jpg) The car is at Blast Off in Buffalo [www.blastoffny.com](http://www.blastoffny.com/) . They will be soda-blasting the entire car in preparation for bodywork. Estimated date to get it to the body shop, Thursday. Then it gets to take another quick ride on the 33 and head back into Tonawanda. Last chance to look at it in somewhat together state: ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_6.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_6.jpg) ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_7.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_7.jpg) ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_8.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_8.jpg) Took a whole 20 minutes to rip apart the front end - again: ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_9.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_9.jpg) Garage sure looks lonely: ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_10.jpg](http://www.rodandpiston.com/cars/camarojoe/image_10.jpg) Now there is room for me to put all the [WNYCarClubs.com](http://WNYCarClubs.com) Super Cruise supplies until the show. Plenty of pictures coming soon. Jessie at Blast Off will be sending me pictures the next few days showing the progress. ---

> [@newman](#): > > jesse is a cool guy, let me know how the sodablasting turns out. nice looking car, btw. Yea, met Jessie when I bought his air compressor and he kept bugging me until I brough my car to him 🙂 I was at their shop for 3 hours hanging out and disassembling the front end. He should have it done by Thursday. He’s taking pictures also. I’ve only had it off the road for 7 years ☹ Now it’s killing me to get it back out. The cost of parts keeps increasing the more I think of what I want to do to the car, but I figure I’ve saved gas money for 7 years, time to dump a small fortune back into my toy. ---

I’m sticking with old school powertrain, but much better than what came stock. Let’s just say it was a special order engine back then. The transmission will be relatively newer though. ---
