The chassis has now returned from the media blasting company.

They use a magic combination of dry-ice blasting and plastic media blasting, this method makes it possible to literally peal the car layer by layer.

The dry ice removes dirt, glue residue and if wanted also the rust protection and sound deadening layers, leaving the paint completely clean and untouched.

The plastic media then carefully removes all the paint without affecting the sheet metal.

(This method does however not remove rust, that calls for tougher blasting media such as glass or sand)

The result is impressive to say the least!

Most parts of the DS now looks like it was taken directly of the factory line in 1958, just before painting.

As good as new...

Several clear signs from Mr Gidlunds crash in December -58, and the time as a prototype with Mr Lindblom is now visible. But now it’s finally time to start replacing the the right cyll and the floor...
