Sounds just about right for a street rod! Looking great there Bobby!

Bobby,
This build is coming along great. If that first buyer sees this he is going to want it back. Does that fiber wheel take only paint off or does it take metal off too? Good thread, keep it going.

Jack yes paint and rust stripper . Don ( itoldyouso ) was the one I heard them from and picked some up . If your go higher RPM and snag it the material will break off and sting so wear clothing .

Like all removal tools though you keep it moving as not to create heat in the panel . It took the paint off this A with no effort and leaves a really clean panel .

Randy I just used my electric angle grinder . Spun it at 20K rpm but never had it come apart from that .

That body looks great cleaned up like that. Bet you are starting to get excited, Bobby.

Don

Great progress Bobby. Almost makes me wish I had kept my slant windshield 'A' - and a sedan could eventually replace my roadster if for no other reason then leg room (but maybe not )

Thanks Bobby,
Going to get some of those.

Even Home Depot carries those in their tool section, right where the grinding discs are. They are blue. I have also used the black ones, which are more agressive, but hard to find. As Bobby said, wear long sleeves and eye protection, the little pieces fly off and sting pretty good sometimes.

Don oh yeah its getting so close but I made a change that will stand out in a bit when I post it .

Bobby,
Checked at the local H F and they don't have them, they had 4 1/2 twist lock but no backer plate. Went to H F online and no luck. Are you sure it was harbor Freight?

Home Depot and Lowe's both (at least locally) have 3M or Norton discs or wheels
