Paint Stripping

Today I spent a few hours out in the garage using my aircraft chemical stripper to remove the last bits of remaining painted areas on the car. The car is now about 95% stripped. Tomorrow I will use my dual action sander to remove the rest of the paint and get the panels ready for primer. I focused on the front area between the dash and the firewall and the rear valance where the gas cap goes. Many layers of paint came off. I am glad I used up the rest of the paint stripper product-now I just have to get rid of the can at our dangerous goods drop off .

I needed to remove the faded red paint to get revved up about the grunt work I have to do over the weekend. I have decided today's task was pivotal in getting me a few steps closer to claiming the car as my own (new paint.new color)....
