In talking with Jeff a couple of weeks ago, he mentioned that the previous owner sprayed the undercarriage black in order to cover up excess LB overspray that had hit the undercarriage when the 3rd owner had it repainted. In dialing back this black paint, I am finding Lemans Blue overspray on the outer frame rails, rear leaf springs and the lower surface of the fuel tank. I'm having to make multiple passes with chemicals to get to through all the paint so progress is pretty slow.

The original tank was painted black and I'm using some low VOC paint stripper to take off the layers of paint including the lemans blue overspray that's hiding beneath the black. Here's a couple of pics of the fuel tank being stripped and the rear leaf springs which are cleaning up nicely. If the tank comes clean and presents itself well, I will clean and seal the inside before having a paintless dent guy attempt to pull the large dent on the underside. If that doesn't yield the results I'm looking for, it will be getting a new fuel tank. As for the big dent in the original tank, I'm assuming someone had a jack slip at one point and it dented the rear of the tank rather nicely. I also pulled the 3/8" fuel line from the car today and I'm working that back to a natural finish as well. Easier said than done though. (lol)

Heading back to the shop now.
