Didn’t get much time on the car this weekend as real life got in the way. I needed a new grinder wire brush, but the welding supplies place I normally get them from didn’t have any. What they did have though were paint removal discs. Funny looking things with a hard plastic mesh on. Thinking they had to be better than nothing, I bought a few. <\/p>\n

Well, they turned out to be amazing at cleaning paint and underseal off. It went through it in seconds, leaving a clean polished surface. They break up easily on rough edges, but on the flat they’re fantastic. I cleaned much more than I expected to, and had to vac up handfuls of old paint and dirt. With no more time to work on it, I had to leave it for the day. Rather than let it go rusty, I spent an hour on sunday night cleaning off the tar residue with thinners, then gave it a paint with red oxide primer. There are still areas around the edges of the panels that will need grinder brushing, but it’s looking more and more like a rebuilt car. <\/p>\n
