    greetings everyone !

    just retired from The Corps, and missed most of my kids childhood due to my travelings to far away places, so I have decided to try to catch up to the missed times, and do father and son projects with my two kids, so i know I am going to need some help.
    I have a 56 chevy bel air, for me a 55 ford f-100 that my younger kid really likes, and the older wants the 77 corvette, figure that out?
    I can get around a tool box easy, but not a profesional by any means, so i will clean up all the greasy and rusty parts and the shop, if you guys can help me out.

    thanks! yes I still need the info, I just started to take apart the car and most of the molding is in great shape, I don't want to screw it up by prying in the wrong place.
    I was just in Charlotte, and I was told that in Burlington, there is a chem-strip company that will stripp the body and get it cleaned up, what do you think?

    Eltuco I'm going to email you a detailed instruction page to remove the trim. I'd post it here but don't know how.

    hey Mudbone, I e-mailed the company for a quote, but the guy said he wants to talk over the phone for a quote. maybe sandblasting would be a better choice, and no I haven't got info on the trim removal for the front and rear gl***, I bought some tools from Eastwoodco to remove all the other trim almost done with it.
