Thanks guys.
I spent awhile yesterday cleaning the garage, but obviously there will still be overspray in many places that I didn't clean.

Not really sure when it will be completely ready for paint.
Yes, frame resto is the next priority.

I would be very interested in hearing about this myself.

Rick, James posted earlier...I've copied his post below

I don't have any before pictures any longer.
I will post some of the finished build sheet later.

I used fast lacquer thinner, believe it or not the thinner will not remove the "carbon copy" type of impact printing on the factory sheets.

I first did this back in 2001 and have done it countless times since.

The GTO Judge conv one I did was completely black from tar, I put it on a stack of paper towels then put a few paper towels over the top then set the whole stack on a piece of expanded metal thus acting as a grate, then poured the lacquer thinner through the stack. The paper towels absorbed the tar freed by the lacquer thinner. You will be amazed by how much tar you can remove. I used cheap fast lacquer thinner for gun cleaning you may be able to use acetone with the same results.

Way to go Albert.
Maybe the post doors are so light that they levitate easier. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
