I have been looking thuogh your project... looks good, but i saw this picture : and I cant help seeing all that little rust i the "corners" im pretty sure that, if you only grind this down, insted of sandblast it, the rust will return in a couple of years btw you got an AWASOME car.. love it.. all the painted part looks GOOD..
