Cadillac Resto - January's Improvements

Saturday, we took the day to deal with the Cadillac's trunk. It's the first project because it's a) inexpensive, b) completely self contained and c) what we'll be using to store ALL THE THINGS for a while.
It started out looking like this.
Thankfully, there was only a little bit of surface rust here and there which was easily taken care of with some wire brushes/drill attachments
While Earl was doing the heavy lifting, I organized all the little bits and pieces that would be going back in the trunk, that we didn't want to get lost. (not pictured, a gallon baggie full of miscellaneous screws and bolts.)
Look how nicely it all fits in this little tub.

After a quick coat of primer, some insulation and trunk panels, the first stage of the trunk-fix was done, and ready to store things like the tub of small parts, and the starter and all sorts of other things.
 
I'm not sure what we'll tackle next, but It's going to be wonderful to get this old lady back on the road.
