    This is how it starts...

    Help me. Motivate me. My '68 project is beginning to languish. This was taken this morning. There is a half disassembled Go-Kart on top of and blocking the car. Tools piling up. Leaf blowers. I have removed the paint from the engine lid, most of the roof, and most of the drivers rear quarter. So far I have found a liberal coat of '80's bondo (and even some lead work), but no rust, which is a mystery. I am going to have the car professionally painted in it's original Polo Red, but I wanted to do most of the R&R so I could see what I was dealing with. Winter is coming, which doesn't make me want to spend a lot of time in my unheated, standard sized garage. I don't want to go into my garage next year and have to dig it out from under 16 cardboard boxes and a wooden canoe!

    Need strong motivating statements!

    Also, is it dangerous to find lead work and expose it to the air during a stripping process like this? I don't want to create a toxic hazard for my unsuspecting family.

    Thank you,

    Brad
