I got the paint and skim coat of bondo off the barrel back. I cleaned up fairly well except for a couple of spots. I'll use Aircraft Stripper on the mud guards since they have no filler on them. The inside is pretty rough and will need sandblasting. The wood all looks OK so I'll just scrape it and paint it.
The Begining This car was bought, some years ago, from Gullwing Motors in New York. It was an older restoration at that time, as far as I can ascertain. The car was found in a barn in north Florida ten or more years ago and went through two avid Morgan owners, being dismantled by the second one and then passed on to me. Much work had been done including a new chassis as well as quite a collection of new parts. Here is what I bought.

BODY WORK 2
I finally got back to work on the car and today did a lot of stripper applications to the scuttle. It softened the bondo and allowed me to scrape off a lot of it. I'll follow up with some sandblasting. This appears to be all original metal so I really want to save it; same for the back body. I'll sand and paint the wood in a flat black.
