| One nice thing about working in the sun in New Mexico. The tar came right up without having to heat it! Behold the power of the sun. |

What is the point of removing the "Tar"? Just wondering??
Anyone else concerned about working under the car while someone works above you with the car so high on just jack stands? I would be afraid the car falling of the stands.

It frequently hides rust underneath.
Plus it weighs a ton!

No. I'm not worried. The car doesn't weigh enough in this state to do me any real harm. I can lift the back of the car off the jackstands by myself.

Plus the addition of safety by the steel plates in Joe's head. However it does give him grief everytime he passes security to get to work to fly them aereoplanz.
Just kidding! And stay away from those magnets

Joe, you're going to have to step it up a bit. You are barely making ANY progress! 
Damn I wish I had that kind of motivation when I started mine.

Just to clarify... LuckieO is Joe's wife... I'm their very good friend. I'm the one that owns the brewpub in NM with Nico, my lovely husband... who, BTW couldn't turn a wrench if it came with an instruction manual! He once blew up a Toyota Camry because he didn't know the difference between "changing" and "checking" the oil... Just because it was full, doesn't mean it wasn't almost stone! In tribute to the Camry... the oil didn't get changed for 118,000 miles before it blew up! (Not that I'll ever own a rice burner...

A little progress today. The realization of how much work it's going to be to remove the undercoating has got me a little down.
last:
When the body returns from the paint shop, it will all be worth it.

I took all the undercoating off of one in just a few minutes.

Are you sure it was mine? People can do funny things with computers, you know!
