As a newbie with car gutted, engine out, floor replaced and stiffeners added [thanks CFR and Restoration Design], now I need to think about final cleanup. After reading William Harris's plans for baking soda blasting ,that sounds like the way to go. Many have offered varing opinions and I would like to find your opinions on pros and cons of each. Help please. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Acid dipping is a better choice for a full time race car IMO, but it should be done before any rust repair or reinforcements. It will also strip paint from places that are impossible to access for recoating.
With the media strip you can skip some areas or just go over them lightly. There's no need to remove all the factory base coat IMO. Also I would prefer to leave some of the body sealer in places where it is still fully intact. |
