Picked up some of the parts for the AD truck at the body shop today, I'll get the rest tomorrow. I installed the front bumper and splash apron this afternoon.
Welcome to hell. Here's your accordion.

I have been spending the last couple of weeks helping Scooter to fire up that Hemi we fitted to his project 33 Dodge sedan, so we can take it to a family day at the drags for some test and tune runs.

Wow it sounds sweet with the blower on it, and of course it now runs on Propane :wink:

We had a little temp inversion here today. It's 84 degrees. I sprayed the engine in the cafe racer project down with solvent. it's nice working outside in shirt sleeves and being warm.  :)

boyd who, I stripped my anglia a year ago with a water based product that worked really well,especially when you covered the stripper with saran wrap so it couldnt dry up. I would remove the wrap and all the paint would come off with it. I think it was 3M safest stripper . Real easy to use if the product you are using gives you grief.

That sounds like a good idea. Here the government is advising people to stay away and those already there too leave

That sounds like a good way to do it! I'll try the saran wrap idea...this stuff I'm using dries very quickly. Thanks!

Down here Gas is $1.50lt and Propane is $0.75lt, that's why it is so popular here. :wink:

Glad I could help! I hate chasing stuff around the floor too!  :D
I have to fix a lot of "mistakes" that the original builders of this truck did, so I'm going to be doing a number of mock-ups like this before I'm done.
One thing I'm doing is separating the splash aprons from the front fenders. For some strange reason they brazed them together when they did the bodywork. Grrrrr!


enjenjo...as long as the strippers in my shop come from a can, my wife doesn't seem to mind.  :lol:
