The right tool for the job.

Stripped the right front wheelhouse of its undercoating in about 3 minutes.
Elbow grease....Not!

(Brake Cleaner also works like a charm and strips about everything else in the process if you don't want to invest in one of these.)

@ $479.00 that may be worth it for even one car... kinda pricey though when considering a soda blast for $600.

Cool tool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

They can be found for much less used. DynaBrade also makes a similar one for less. BTW,What did you find out on the brake parts cost?

Stripped the underside rear of the tub to metal and epoxy primed.

First I used the Wurth "flail" to remove the old undercoating. This also removed the majority of original paint. The rest I machine sanded with a Mini DA and a few spots I used Starblast media (transmount bracktets and crossmember). Then some good old fashion elbow grease hand sanding and some solvent.

I removed all of the seam sealer where the inner wheelhouse/ quarter panels meet the floor at the rear. Needed to see if any issues were under there. None found. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I did leave intact the sealer where the shock tower pockets are. Just took it down a little to have something to bite into and tidy it up.

The Kent solvent kicks ass.

Awesome....printed on the side of a box of Porsche Exhaust Headers. Even the UPS guy had to take time out to read it. Way cool.

QUOTATION: If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you’d like to win, but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you’re outclassed, you are;
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.


Now who can guess what brand they are?

I recall that Stahl stopped making 914/6 headers although you are correct on the box. I got a kick out of the verbiage on the box.

The headers are George Narbel's (ERH) . I had them thermal coated and they shipped em in a Stahl box.

I was prepping a post and the lights went out! The site went down. It's like running out of MIG gas!

(Preview of next weeks board meeting:o)

Rt fender off. I new I had some rust at the top by the cowl. Not as bad as I expected. Fender was removed as a skin leaving the cowl extension intact.

The upper cowl extension will get cut out and replaced. Easy piece to fabricate.
I swear that piece was designed for Dzus fasteners!

The cowl itself is ok at the horizontal area but the side will need some new metal.
I used the Wurth "flail" to remove the sealer and take it down to bare iron.
The rear of the wheelhouse is fine no rust. The front of the rocker/ hinge pillar will need a closing plate fabricated. All in a days work.

A really good product I have used for years is Jasco metal etch. It's a little different than metal ready. 1st its more agressive and only has to sit about 10 minutes (the instructions says 1 minute and rinse) versus some other products out there. It is very cheap in comparison to others and I think does a better job overall because it is full strength. (3/1, 2/1 with H20 or full strength as I use it right out of the bottle)

This is an excellent etching product. What it does not do ......It is not a conversion coating as it has no zinc or phosphate. If you are repairing and going directly to epoxy primer Jasco is a great product. If you are leaving metal exposed for a period you may get some flash and probably should use a zinc conversion coating even on good clean steel.

I am not fond of conversion coatings because rust is rust no matter what color it turns.
