When prepping a car for sandblasting, what is the common thing to do with the aluminum tags in the front trunk and door pillar?
I suppose the second question would be do I acid dip the car or get it sandblasted? |

I just went through this. Aircraft stripper - let it sit for an hour - then hit it with a power washer. 4 gallons did the entire car (approx $40 per gallon) - inside and out. It IS A PAIN!

I am curious about the reinforcement you did that ties the rear of the inner longs to the inner firewall. do you have a closeup of that? Thanks -Andrew |
