Triumph TR3- More Surface Rust Removal-'59

Yesterday evening I spent about an hour removing surface rust from underneath the floorboards of the '59 in preparation for primer and paint. It was a low stress excursion in the garage with some really great CBC radio playing in the background for company...I used some Marine Clean to start prepping the areas where I have removed most of the rust which resulted in ending off the evening with a sense of accomplishment and some visually apparent improvements in the quality of the surface for paint. I figure I am about 70% finished the prep. I really need to apply the hour now and then rule (trying to get out to the garage on a daily basis-this is the only way the project is going to get finished) to get out into the garage and get the job done vrs committing to long stretches of labor...

I also did some garage clean up earlier in the evening. Mainly putting tools away. I need to do a major purge again in the next few days to once again "clear the decks" in order to proceed with the work in an orderly, safe and efficient manner....
