Aaron's 76 Type LT Project

2 minute(s) of a 383 minute read

Spent some time this weekend stripping paint off the shell. Removed all the paint layers from the roof top and rocker panels and took off as much as I could from the door jambs and cowl using a 4.5" stripping disc on my angle grinder. Will be getting some abrasive supplies in this week which will let me finish up these areas. I didn't touch the 1/4 panels since those will be getting replaced down the road.







And the new addition to the family  Floor pan replacement will begin soon.

3-8-2010

No new pics to share, but was able to use the 2" stripper discs on my die grinder to remove paint in the tight areas on the door jambs, cowl and other areas. Also stripped the paint off the metal dash and the front windshield "lip". Have just a few small spots that I will have to use the sandblaster to remove. Going to wait until I am basically done removing all I can with the angle grinder and die grinders before doing any sandblasting. Did some more yard work to get ready for 2010, so that cut into the Camaro time. Also spent Sunday doing some more organization work in the garage.  

Think I can get my hands on a good driver side toe board, so will work on removing the old pass side floor pan this week. Probably will take a few weekends since this is all new to me and I want to do it right. Going to try and do butt welds on the floor pans too, which will add to the required time.
