Happy Birthday. Hope it isn't filled with too much undiscovered rust!

Have fun with the project.

Regards,

Karl

I wish I'd bought stock in 3M 20 years ago. These disks are the best thing to happen to paint removal since sandpaper itself. IF your going down to bare metal that is. They will very quickly remove two layers of paint and all of the bondo and sealer as well.

The top right one is the type you can buy at FLAPS. The 1/4" collet is OK, but a drill is slow, and a air die grinder has no torque. The lower left (bag of purple units) is available at most larger auto body supply stores. You can put them on a 1/4" collet, but I put them on my grinder. The lower left small-ish unit is the one I wore down to a nub. Eastwood sells a 7" one with a backing pad. I need to order a few of those. I can't find them locally.

This is the package of 4 disks themselves. Part number is visible.

Happy Birthday Gint !!

I am glad you have find the disks I would have liked to give you as a birthday present. Arent they superior !! I have used those black ones a long time, but found couple of weeks ago those purple ones even better.

I dont like the wire brush. It removes only loose surface rust and it warms the metal.

Thanks Timo. And thanks for the email! It was a good way to start off a Monday (OK, it's really Tuesday after the holiday weekend, but...).

They also work GREAT for fiberglass repair.

As a bonus it also turns the garage into a place better than an opium den if you are looking to get high from just breathing.

These panels were dipped first, but it wasn't the really caustic stuff that removes everything but the metal. Pretty strict EPA guidlines on that I believe.

Blasted donor quarter

10 minutes with a DA and 100 grit

All of the surface rust on the engine tray cleaned up. A new battery tray and support will be installed. I will probably POR-15 the engine shelf. Dunno yet.

All of the silicone someone installed between the stiffening ribs and the panels is GONE!

Little bit of bondo to get rid of. The usual spot on the rear trunk lid that is mashed down. There was a *ton* of bondo in this lid.

Cut this off..before you take it to the body shop. Not much fun trying to cut it off after its in the car.



I chatted with a person about sand blasting the other day... he says it work hardens the metal and makes it tougher for the body shops to "work". Anyt thoughts on this ??

Planning on cutting that 4 cylinder mount off before the quarter goes in. I'll let the metal worker do it. I don't need it. And harder or not, the metal guy will get it done. He's good. I'll ask him about it though.

Battery tray - will do. That's the plan.

If there was a good acid dip place in town, this tub would have gone for a bath.

WooHoooo!!!! I talked to Steve again today. He was out of town. We're good for pushing the schedule out. The plan now is to get the car into the shop mid-July. That will give me plenty of time to strip everything myself without stressin over it.

Now, where can I find a DD 914?

Congrats!

Pacing yourself will keep saniity somewhere near you, maybe almost even in sight. No, it won't be close to you. lol. But it will be the light at the end of the tunnel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Nice work, btw. The panels look really clean.

(sympathies on the B-day -- they do happen to everyone, so don't take it personally)

No worries Kim, thanks. There are a lot of things in life we can't control. Like Birthdays. 914's we can fix, growing old we can't.

Live it up.

Happy belated b-day old guy...

Just scrolled through this thread and checked out the picts. Ouch... Guess the brown car color wasn't that ugly, huh? (ducking for cover...)

If you are serious about a driver, I can look for you. Does this project mean the families yearly CA trip is off this year? If not, let us know when.
