Thread: need help removing primer ?

Tweet

Just to make you feel better, it took me a month to get all the primer off my Brookville '31A body. I used a 7" DA with 60 and 80, a long board with 80 and 100, an 8" grinder, a 5" orbital sander, hand pads and lots of elbow grease. All the raised detail as well as all of the as-shipped warts and fungus that Brookville supplies was there for "easy" repair. Guys like Kenseth 17 (in another forum) have helped me a lot.

Oops - also used a sand blaster around the firewall

I never knew how many individual pieces a Model A Ford has that needed stripping, priming and painting - a quick count is 29 plus the hinges and latches. I have probably missed a couple. And this doesn't count any of the frame and its 12 major brackets, engine, trans, differential and other odds and ends.
