Feels like im going backwards sometimes!

Little Chem strip action...

GMC91 · 11-24-2010, 12:48 AM

What did you use to strip it like that?

draggin86 · 11-24-2010, 01:34 AM

This is the stuff i used here! worked pretty well took about 2 coats to get it all off..

GMC91 · 11-24-2010, 01:40 AM

Thank you much man

draggin86 · 11-24-2010, 02:13 AM

to get its nice and clean i used a wire wheels on my grinder and the red scuff pads..

GMC91 · 11-24-2010, 02:15 AM

Alright, well Im bout to start my frame off on my 76 C-10 and I am just trying to figure out ways to get the frame clean quickly.

mcboomport · 11-24-2010, 12:47 PM

Looking good. I made the mistake of using a 4" hand grinder with a wire wheel to clean up my frame. Took 7 hours, I couldnt hear and my hands were numb for a day. I like your approach. haha

SS Delux · 11-24-2010, 01:55 PM

What are you planning to use to paint it ? Ive had bad experiences with POR 15.

spudz · 11-24-2010, 04:24 PM

Did you strip fresh clean paint off or the original frame paint??

Damn this is turning out sweet. Your fab work is amazing, nothing like welds that look like a roll of dimes layed out. Its gonna be crazy to see your and Dennis's rides cruisin around Sac when you guys are all done. Im new to the site, but with builds like this, Ill definately be here a while. Makes me want to find a new project once I finish my 4x4

Thanks a ton dude! i got it from homedepot.. the trick to get it all off in 1-2 applications is use a wire wheel on a grinder it eats through the paint like a hot knife through butter.. the dropmember will be in soon! for good!
