Gerahead's 71 Dart

After taking a week vacation last week to recoup, I have been back at it. I have 3 of the 4 wheel wells pretty much stripped, at least as much as will come off easily with the scraper. I honestly don't know how I would've gotten all of this stuff off without herniating a disc if I didn't have the spinner. The fronts cleaned off pretty easily with the larger flat surfaces. The rears take a little longer. Man, in some places that stuff is about 3/16" thick. Looks like maybe the seam sealer isn't the only thing that they put on with a fire hose at the factory. What is left after going over it with the scraper comes off pretty easily with the wonder solvent, Naptha. A couple of wipes with a clean rag and the solvent and it is clean down to the paint. YOu can see the difference pretty easily in the two photos. One is after scraping (driver side) and the other is scraped and wiped (pass side). I sure will be glad when I am done with all of this really dirty, grimy crap and can get to the stuff that starts making her look better\\:D/. L8r
