    Cover with paint stripper, then drive through a car wash. . . lol.
     
  8. Still sanding away on this v.w. Damm i dont know what they sealed it with.Cant wait to prime this thing! Bruce.
     
  9. OK finally got most of that v.w stripped down and getting it ready for prime. I had to pull the hood off and strip that also and even had to use a grinder they must of had a 1/4 inch of skim coat filler on that baby Had to use some tiger hair for the front of the hood where the metal was rusted away.The guy didnt want to buy another hood.Man i will be glad when this one is done so i can get back to work on my 1956 buick special station wagon.Bruce.
     
  10. O.K. Got that darn V.W.stripped down and got it all primed up.Picked up the paint today Guy wants it painted T.N. ORANGE. Changed my mind about the acrlic enamel paint.I am going to try and paint in acrlic enamel urathane.Bruce.
