914.043.0945 - IMSA Race Car, From roller to racer Options

[gms]

Back in April 2009 I bought a real 914/6 that was raced in IMSA in 1979 and 1980.
This car was in storage since the late 1980s, in fact I had considered buying it back in 1990. Here is the car as it sat in Mark Kinnaman's (Bartlett 914) shop after I bought it.

This worked best for me....if you're gonna hand strip.
"Rice cakes" (2-1/2 or 3 inch) and a 90deg die grinder.
Were I in your shoes with all the weird/tight spots, I'd consider media blasting that thing. I'm some what of a gluton for punishment but that's too much for me.

I am using 3 inch 3M rolock sp?, they work well since i am welding as i go.
I still might get it blasted but as long as I am working in the area I manually strip it.
