Framed stripper

[T Bell]

Gotcha. I am trying to strip my frame myself with a sander and wire wheel (to save a few bucks instead of chemical or soda blasting). How do you clean the inside of the frame rails? I've heard of putting a chain to a drill but not certain how this is setup.

not gonna do it, need it chemical dipped. i would get outside good and clean and painted, i doubt in the good weather use the car will see from now on it will ever be a problem

Ditto on Jakes comment but you could knock a bunch of junk out of the rails with a pressure washer. Do that, let it dry out real well and spray in some POR15 to seal her up. Best you can do without resorting to dipping.

A chain hooked up to a drill??!!! From a chain saw I'm assuming? That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Sounds pretty dangerous too.

T Bell...it cost me $75 to have my frame chemical-stripped. It's money well spent. Believe me. Get it chemical-stripped and buy an undercoat sprayer from Eastwood to coat the inside of the frame with POR-15.

Come on...how many of us were tempted to make Stripper jokes. "Framed Stripper"!! I was just waiting all day for the sick humor to come out! But maybe its just me.

ha ha ha. I thought it would've came alot sooner too.

Trapin, did you spray your whole subframe with that sprayer? Did you add any thinner?

T Bell.....just the inside of the frame, and no I didn't need to thin it. I only used the wand, the tube portion you see in the picture was not needed.

The outside I painted with a brush. Make sure you use their 'Metal Ready' product on the outside of the frame. I didn't, and now some rust is peaking through in some areas.

Better than a stripped framer....
