Looks great! I like how your taking it right to shiny, I would do the Epoxy primer you need to protect it, it wont take long for oxidation to start and cause problems...
going back to your question, just take the two screws out and remove your fender tag. nothing special really, its just a stamped metal tag screwed to the car. I screwed mine to the wall for 2 years while I worked on the car and then came back, cleaned it and painted it while it sat on a piece of cardboard.
And I am with the rest of the guys, you are doing a phenominal job in there...I should have hired you to do mine. I just sanded mine smooth and shot paint over it.
Well KB . . . like your idea so much that

Getting closer to getting this whole front clip cleaned up so I can get it in primer . . . looking forward to that . . .
In addition to re-building my Mopar, I've got another project that I'm working on for the house. It's a combination of my well house, that has been extended to not only contain the well pump, but it's got additional storage - we always can use more storage ! In addition, I've created this neat little "shallow" storage area . . . and if you look at the picture I'm sure you'll be wondering - why would one make the storage area so shallow ? ?
Here's the picture of this area - as you can see, it's only about 1 foot deep:

Well - it really comes in handy and organizes my stuff so I'm not tripping all over all the time - and all within easy reach:
Storage for all my lawn and garden tools for around the house:

Works very well - just thought I'd share this little idea with the group.
Looking great! Finished the body and paint on my 67 convertible last summer. Like you, did it all myself. Just a heads up...you are nearing the most time-consuming, patience-testing part of the project: THE PAINT PREP. The hours of sanding, spraying, sanding, more sanding, spraying, sanding....you get the picture. You will sand the fingerprints off your fingers and draw blood in places (ask me how I know :confused3. In the end, you won't regret it.
That is so cool. I didn't even know what 1 foot area you were talking about until I saw the open picture. Very cool idea / use of space / organization.
Your daughter did a great job on her Captain America costume!!
You're lucky more of them didn't sting ya. I've found my share of nest also. Wasp, Hornets, Bee's. I try and find their nest/hive, then wait till night when it is cooler and they are all in for the night, Then...........BAM!!!!!!!!!!!! get the RAID spray out. Did that with a hornet's nest with about 150 +/- hornets.
Those casters look like they will for sure make moving your car around easier. What's the weight rating? just curious. I could've used something like those before I put the motor in mine.
