Well, she's as stripped as she's gonna be. I am so sick of paint stripper right now.....my body hates paint stripper.....

We'll see how the body does to sanding..... I think I have some power tools to help out with that....

I did use a grinder to remove the "crater slag" on the spot welds holding the wheel well to the engine compartment side panels. A few had some nice "cut ya later" protrusions and I don't like giving up blood all that easily....so brought them back down to level.....

Hope to have paint going back on by Thurs or Friday. Days off! woooo hooooo Picked up some more PrepSol (miuratic acid?) for removing the light later of surface rust that has accumulated, then Galvaprep to coat the metal to a non-steel surface, then some etching primer and some silver rattle can Rust-o-leum type paint! Last stuff I used held up VERY well in the areas where it was allowed to bake onto the frame.....where it was really close the headers it burned away....but where there was a few inches of air space, the stuff is tough as nails. Stripper only softens it but doesn't bust the bond! I'll be sanding that stuff...... New headers should not be so close to the frame with the new non-Boss engine config.
