Well I got the front fenders, inner skirts, grill, valance, lower baffle and core support back from the stripper this morning and man O’ man, was I a happy camper. I'd never had any metal work chemically stripped before so I've been a little worried about how it was going to come out. But this is one of those projects that just keeps getting better the more I dig into it. And you all know unusual that is. I was fully prepared for some nasty surprises under all that red paint.

All that needs to be done to this sheet metal is fill a couple of 1/4” holes where they had mounted the firelights and siren and work out a few dents and waves in the flanges and I’m ready for primer. Still looking for just that right sheen to match that of the e-coat.
