Without rain, there'd be no rainbows.

Sometimes, things just go your way. You're having a great day, the sun's shining, there's a nice breeze flowing. Every now and then, we have one of those days.

When I stopped to work on the car my second day off, I met a surprise; Dad had finished sanding the roof and coated it with self-etching primer!

My mission for the day was to sand the rust on the interior roof. This is by far where the rust is the worst and I think it's what's going to take the most time to get through. I worked for hours just trying to sand off the worst of the rust from the roof itself. It's so hard to hold a sander upside down! This project's definitely giving me a workout.

The roof came out looking a lot better than I thought it would, given the severity of the rust. The metal was all still strong and hadn't rusted through anywhere. The trim will have to be sanded down by hand and will certainly take as long if not longer to sand down. By the time I finished sanding, I was covered in rust dust from head to toe! Maybe I should consider getting a tetanus shot as I go forward on this project.
