Gerahead's 71 Dart

Wow, It doesn't seem like I have been away this long. Took a temporary break to get the race car ready for a trip to the track on Labor Day weekend. Came back with more work to do! I have still been toiling away at the removal of prior coatings. I have the inside of the fenders done. Cowl and firewall are done, inside of the roof is done, inside of the core support is done and the inside of the passenger side of the apron is done. I have the outside of the core support, outside of both aprons and the hood hinges to strip and I am done! I knew this was going to be a lot of work, but I had no idea . . . . Not only is it a lot of work, but it is becoming hazardous to my health! Last Friday while using a knotted wire wheel on an offset grinder on the corner of the core support, the wheel caught the edge of the sheet metal. I had a pretty good grip on the grinder, but it till jumped pretty hard toward me. Of course the power switch was locked on and the wheel snagged my shirt and in a blink of an eye, it balled up my shirt around the wheel and shredded it along with a good chunk of my chest. Dooooooooo! Yup, it left a mark! Good thing I am almost done! L8r
