This series of photos shows the El Camino after it has been walnut shelled
and is on its way to the body shop.

If you are unfamiliar with the term walnut shelled, it's sandblasting.
But instead of using sand, you use crushed walnut shells to remove the paint.
This method lowers the heat factor that could cause a body panel to warp.

As you can see from the above photos, the walnut shell process does an
excellent job of preparing the surface of the El Camino.

Now it's time for the body work.
Be sure to do your research before deciding on a Body Shop.

Remember, the appearance of your restoration is only as good
as the body work under the paint.

This is one area you don't want to skimp on!

This El Camino will be in the Body Shop for several weeks.

The progress continues...
