I'll bet the water co is gone to love you. The pressure washer was able to remove undercoating and leave the paint? what PSI was the washer and did you use any chemical's? detergents, solvents ETC. Thanks

All I used was tap water. I previously sprayed the underside with Purplestuff degreaser and let that soak. Don't know what the PSI was but it was just a regular, hardware store pressure washer.

The collector I sold it to back in 2012 finally let her go. She was a partial trade toward a low mileage red 73 SD455, 4-speed car.

She is a great car in case anyone is considering buying the old mistress. :-)

The new owner just drove it across Route 66 from Texas to California!

Great video. I wonder how many cameras he forgot on the side of the road while filming it.

My dream is a long road trip across at least part of the country, the west. I am thinking still shots and interviews maybe a book as a result. The car will be a side focus with the people that come to talk about it being the main point. What it inspires in people and the type people it attracts and their stories will be the point. The car will be the magnet. Also interesting will be the road saga we hope. I admire anyone that does a real road trip. Your car will come back with at least a couple of chips, you may put a windshield in when done, so it is not for the faint hearted. My dream, like Kerouac, the road.

What a great video. That is a trip that would be a great deal of fun in a classic like that. You should be very proud Steve to have had a hand or two in the restoration of a piece of Americarna!

I am sorry I missed this when posted. I drove mine from WA to NM - a lot of the same terrain!

Wow! I’m not sure how I missed that, but so thankful you posted that cool video back then Steve! I am using it as true motivation towards completing my project now.
That is definitely on my bucket list… to figure out a way to do that route 66 trip with my ‘70 when completed!
