We started this build about 5 years ago. Paul the owner was not in a hurry and at the time we were having problems with reliable body men. We since found a good body man who has done other work for us.
The car was purchased in Florida by its original owner, she had alot of fun with the car slalom racing. She then move up to Pensylvania were she passed on and left car to her brother. A few years of the car sitting in his garage he then sold it to Paul. Getting ready to strip the paint (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i881.photobucket.com-9150-1293511832.1.jpg) Original paint under fuel tank paint color decided (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i881.photobucket.com-9150-1293511833.2.jpg) After walnut blasting (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i881.photobucket.com-9150-1293511834.3.jpg) Nothing abnomal here,all was replaced (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i881.photobucket.com-9150-1293511835.4.jpg) Some minor body damage (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i881.photobucket.com-9150-1293511836.5.jpg) |

The paint stipping was done with walnut shell. I prefere this method, less heat and less abrasive. I have not tried soda blasting, I understand it is a good way to go. I will get some pics of the finished paint at the end of this week. The "hell hole" was completely and properly rebuilt. It was one of the better ones I have seen.
"Mr. Lazy Butt" did pick up the calipers. Very nice work done by Eric. Thanks. |

How much time did this take? What grade and how much media did you go through? |
