had a chat to mr sandblaster and was advised to strip the paint from all the larger panels (warpage)so out came the paint stripper (bad stuff) ,gets
the job done though
bare metal inside,out and underneath
the sandblaster did a sweet job,good price to,only took him 4 hours to do
cleaned up the bits left over from paint strippn with a paint strip disk,they're a bit pricey but don't heat your panels as mutch as a sanding
disk,also doesn't leave scratches in the steel
next mission is to get the inside and underneath in 2k primer

Cool looking ride.
On a side note. If you put [img] before your picture link and [/img] after then the image will display in your post. You can also just click the
little picture icon in the post template and it will allow you to enter the link in and then do it for you.
I have done it to your first post to show you what happens.
Everyone love pics
