Starting to clean up the old ride. After seeing all the surprises some of the guys have run into when they start removing the old paint I was expecting the worse. I saw some really clean cars at the start turn into nightmares when the old paint came off.
My car had terrible paint. It was a 100 ft car.
My son started to remove the trim and parts. The removal of the paint has turned into an unexpected surprise. So far we have found only 3 spots where any filler has been used in its 23 years. Two spots in the drivers door and 1 behind the passenger's door. No rust at all yet?
I an taking all the smaller parts and trunk lid to be media blasted. I feel safer taking off the paint on the fiberglass parts by blasting.\
Here are some pics of the progress. I am also having some of the aluminum parts polished up.
The fiberglass hood looks like a lake on a windy day. That will take some work.
