went to the strippers

[Tuske427]

I'm not sure if I started a thread for my car or not, but my firebird had spent some time back east before I owned it- hence the need to be chemically stripped.

So I rounded up the best replacement sheet metal I could find along with the rusty body and took it over to one of the only two local chemical strippers I'm aware of in the LA area.

The parts came out great, but the body needs another round in the tank. I brought it home yesterday, but found more caked on rust, so back it went. Hopefully I'll get it back next Friday.

I started to spray etching primer on the parts today and will continue tomorrow..

It doesn't look too bad considering it spent time on the east coast. Nice place to start.

out of all the bolt on parts only the pass door is actually from my car ,and after stripping it I'll need to re skin the door. the rest came from other cars.

Are you going to run the hood tach?

Based on just the title of your thread, I was questioning whether or not your wife knew you went to the strippers--.
