71 Nova
Just checking in. Got a 71 Nova with 250 that I'm starting to restore. Been grinding paint from trunk for about a month. It's a mess but fun. Drives great! Not much of a hot rod I guess but I like it.

My son has my digital camera but I'll get some pics. Not much to look at.
I said I was dealing with "paint". That was a brain fart. I'm dealing with rust and it's 3 times the work I though it would be. Especially where the trunk dips down along the fenders. And there is all that foam garbabe down there.

As Pro say's you've got to start somewhere. Sounds like your project will keep you busy for awhile. Even if the car you say looks like junk, send some pictures so we can see the before an after project.Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!

Thanks Streets, That must be what it is. It make a mess but did the paint thinner work? Does it create a toxic substance. I don't want to kill my neighbors.

You must mean that the previous owner sprayed that "expanding foam" where it rusted out so it wouldn't leak?? That's a bummer to get rid of.. I used paint thinner one time to disolve it and what a mess it was.. "Rot work" in the shop was $85.00@hr at that time.. After that job I raised it to $135.00@hr...Clark Web Design
