When are you getting the new blasting system? That would make quick work of the floors!

I already got the blaster, unfortunately blasting won't do much with the rubberized undercoating like this. It just tends to bounce off of it. IT sucks but manual peeling is the best way I have found for this coating. Keep in mind that the 6's were assembled in the same plant as the 911's, so they recieved the " deluxe " Shutzing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) I am so glad to see that. I am really happy with the condition of this car so far. Please get some door braces on that baby soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

A solid car won't bend just hanging on a rotisserie.

Hi Mark:
I'm more the glass is half full kind of guy. With my luck Scotty would come in in the morning and my car would look like a U. I would rather be safe than wide awake at night wondering if it is sagging. But I want to say thanks for your vote of confidence in my car.

I have heard that cars that are going to be painted gold are much less prone to sagging (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Sorry, Cairo - couldn't resist!

Think about the torque on the longs when the car is fully built 2200+lbs with driver and passenger vs empty shell 500lbs. Granted the suspension is more centered than the bumper but the rott is static and force is not being multiplied by bumps in the road. Cutting and welding are a different story.

The other night I woke up from a horrid dream....the covered transport arrived at my house and they opened the back and rolled out a metallic gold Six....thank God I woke up before I had a heart attack in my sleep. It was frightening..... I am still shaking from it.

Couldn't resist either. I am still 90% light ivory and 10% irish green. If I were a gambler, I would put my money on light ivory.

You could paint the thing pink and I would still wish it were mine. Scotty is going to make that car dazzle, whatever color you pick.

Ha ha, but seriously paint it whatever color you want. You pay the bills, you get to call the shots.

Is that really light ivory? It looks whiter in that picture than I remember it. But yeah, generally that is what it will look like.

That's the color but pictures and light conditions will impact the look on your screen.
I like the color a lot, mostly because it doesn't show the dust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Between my dad and I there is almost a full week just in scraping off the undercoating, and I still have one wheel well to go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Only found a few more SMALL rust spots to fix. One in the floor, one on the engine shelf under the battery tray and the spot on the long where the oil ines had been run. Media blasting will get the remainder of the undercoating bits off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Also note the rust that was underneath the foam in the rear corners. It's always a good idea to remove that stuff
