You can see this one is gonna be a little in depth. I started the dismantel phase tonight. I took off both the bumpers, mirror, wheels, tires, moonies and a few other parts.

Here is a good look at the paint up close. This should be fun. Nothing like working on some good ole fashioned laquer!

This shoud be a fun one. This single stage paint is very thing and fragile. Its gonna be a fun one!
 
well guys after 6 hours of degreasing everything from the undercarriage wheels and stripping off some serious silicone and years of old wax this is what I'm looking at! thought you all may like these shots! I got my hands full.

Heh heh, coming from *you* that could mean just about anything :chuckle:



But yeah, can't beat old-school lacquer, oughta be fun compared to working on b/c all the time.
