FARM FRESH 1969 359 PROJECT

I truly appreciate any guidance I can get! I will definitely check out the Aircraft Stripper but unfortunately I store it close to me home, not at my yard so I can run over and put in a few minutes here and there. That means that it is surrounded by other people's vehicles so a pressure cleaner whipping" jelllyfied" orange paint soaked in stripper bouncing off 200,000 RV's might be a problem.I do have a bus on one side and a container on the other that might help me set up some kind of tarp for a day. I will check that out.

Interesting note.... I was poking around underneath looking to see how I was gonna achieve the height I want when I stumbled on a very nicely hidden heavy duty ignition kill switch. That solves my push button start security issues.

 

Don't know if you were trying to be funny but the county I live in is VERY protective of the environment especially the water. (Rivers and ocean). You can bet there will be tarp down to catch all of it. And if there isn't they will be on me like white on rice.

 

That stripper is some potent sh@@!



They wont let me use a pressure washer to take it off here so its a slow painful process. As soon as they saw the pressure washer they came running out to say NO! Lol.

 

Slowly but surely she reveals her inner beauty. Lol

 

I'm finding all of this to be true. Once it mixes with the paint it doesn't work. I have taken to a spray bottle to apply it evenly. The top of the hood (no pics yet) came off cleaner, I don't know if 47 years of heat affected it or maybe I let the stripper sit longer and do it's job. A plastic putty knife seems to work great, I imagine just like a bondo knife, as long as I keep it clean. I really think I'm gonna like the look when it's done! I'm not looking forward to the buffing process though. I have considered a brushed finish too, like with a 3M green pad or swirls with very fine wet sand paper on a slow moving buffer. I'm gonna do some test spots soon and post the results.
