Thread: 1931 Model A Tudor

Randy since the Nailhead could never really launch the frame is strong . Someone I know that has been involved with race car chassis said it is fine the way it sits . He said all I will be able to do power to weight is spin the wheels . HHMM Randy this means a great smoky burn out right .

I fiber wheeled the original paint off . The rock chips are seriously by the 1000's . The fiber wheel made real quick work of it .









Continued till I had it all done but the hood .







Up till I got it to this point .











Remember in the beginning how I said the final gap after working the used drivers door and the lt 1/4 out together . Well this is the end product of that work .

Bobby, tell me more about this fiber wheel.... I need something like that....looks great!!

Randy let me get ya a few pics , Ok sure you have seen them at HF . about $5 a piece I used about 8 total so far .

Thanks, Bobby. What kind of rpm's are required to make it work well? Are you using an electric tool or air with it?

Randy i used it on a Electric grinder and it spun at 20 K , be careful of sharp edge's will pull its self apart . hits like a plastic BB

Randy I just used my electric angle grinder . Spun it at 20K rpm but never had it come apart from that .

That body looks great cleaned up like that. Bet you are starting to get excited, Bobby.

Sounds just about right for a street rod! Looking great there Bobby!

Bobby,
This build is coming along great. If that first buyer sees this he is going to want it back. Does that fiber wheel take only paint off or does it take metal off too? Good thread, keep it going.

Jack yes paint and rust stripper . Don ( itoldyouso ) was the one I heard them from and picked some up . If your go higher RPM and snag it the material will break off and sting so wear clothing .

Like all removal tools though you keep it moving as not to create heat in the panel . It took the paint off this A with no effort and leaves a really clean panel .
