Chief, are you still using primarily the red or tan scothbrite type roloc discs to remove surface rust?

What sort of RPM are you using in order to not smoke through the discs like no tomorrow?

Great work ethic!

I am using the fiber discs on my DeWalt to get all the surface rust down to metal, definitely lasts longer than the rolocs.

Just came in for dinner ... the passenger side drip rail/ roof piece is off, what a PITA!
I will post pictures later ... need to get some heat going (8 inches of snow and maybe 28F outside, maybe 50 inside the garage) and get the drivers side done, set goals and stick to them

got both sides of the roof/ drip rail off took longer than I thought it would. Got the lead outa the passenger quarter roof joint and continued with the drip rails ... overall a good day. Used the DeWalt and the fiber disc to clean everything down to clean metal.


Cleaned up the passenger side.

Passenger drip rail ... this will not buff out!

Driver's side .... uggggg!

Parting shot .... much better with out rust

Thanks for looking ... more to come

get those little retainers out of the headliner headers? I tried to get these out when I was cleaning up the metal on the interior and they would not come .... now with the roof off I can see how they work.

So I took a flat chisel and just popped it with a rubber mallet and they came out the bottom, kool. I know most people will never get this far with their car but that's how to get them out. Luckily the header part is galvanized and just needs cleaning.


There are 8 across the front and 6 in the back!

You can see how they force the sides out when they get pushed in, kool!

I want to thank all those that have sent their condolences, I passed them onto my family. Seems friends are planning a motorcycle memorial ride for David through the mountains ... he would have liked that, as he's done it for fallen brothers.

I'm just dillydalleying around tonight .... might patch some of those holes I made in the drip rail.

Thanks for looking....
