Great progress, Mike! Im interested in the high HP road this one is taking. Are Peg's new owners happy? Can't wait for the next installment!

**Elliot949** · 11-11-2014, 06:45 PM

Hey Mike a recommendation for a Nice Motel/Hotel close by the shop that allows dogs would be appreciated...

The Cherokee Casino is just a couple miles away and I believe it is $59 a night, I don't know about animals though ?

**Elliot949** · 11-12-2014, 12:57 PM

CASINO???... Yeach baby... but probably no dogs...

No the paint and body will be done by Gary Angel of Street Driven Customs out of Centerton Arkansas

**67cheby** · 11-13-2014, 10:14 AM

Anyone have any easy methods for stripping the undercoating off the bottom of the cab ?

watahyahknow · 11-13-2014, 10:18 AM

lay it down belly up poor gas over it and set it on fire

**67cheby** · 11-13-2014, 10:21 AM

LOL....well that's one method !

aggie91 · 11-13-2014, 10:26 AM

I seen that coating taken off with a propane torch and a metal scraper...

That is actually what I was thinking about doing

watahyahknow · 11-13-2014, 11:04 AM

i seen that done the same way , it gets realy sticky and still can catch fire or drip and stick to youre skin burning you , its realy tedious work too

its an oil product basicly bitumen so gas petroleum ir sumtin like that will desolve the final bit sticking to the metal once you stripped all you can with the torch

**1971 GMC SHORTY** · 11-13-2014, 12:53 PM

Best Thing Being Useing butane torch metal Scraper and. Good Mask Don't no what Chemical Are in Coating Been Doing it this way forever

Sand blast... works great as long as you have someone that knows what they are doing....

Second best is a torch and scrapper...

watahyahknow · 11-13-2014, 06:57 PM

allways figured the sandblasting would just mud up the undercoating not remove it , maibe they need to heat it up with the blast to get it to let go
maibe they use a waterjet with sand that might work

I don't know about using a torch...Seems to me like you would warp the sheet-metal badly.
If you look back to page #1 of my thread, I used a twisted wire wheel in a small Dewalt grinder, and it didn't go too bad, it seemed to take it right off if you leaned into it a bit....In the tight corners I used a twisted wire brush made for a die-grinder that had the wires sticking out from the face of it, but put it in a 90-grinder....Don't skimp on the face/eye protection though, because after a while the wires start letting go! As far as I can remember I and/or my son did it in 4-5 hours, and if you look later in the build thread when it is painted, it looks stellar!

**clemdaddy** · 11-13-2014, 08:36 PM

i use an air chisel and finish up with 36 grit on a DA. by now most of the stuff gets rock hard and it was easier to chisel and sand. but i bet a wire wheel would work for the cleanup around the rolls and edges. .02

There should be several things to keep you interested !

This the pic I have seen with the huge watts link?

I poked around and seems the oscillating multitool works best. I used one on a job to cut aluminum panels and such.

**Captainfab** · 11-14-2014, 01:46 AM

This.....just have to be sensible with how much heat you put into the surface. A good heat gun would likely work as well. Aircraft stripper works too, but it is nasty and messy.

mark 66 · 11-14-2014, 07:20 AM

Ive tried believe it or not. easy off oven cleaner. let it sit over night then scrape it off. dosent get all of it but does get a lot. used this method on a Camaro a few years back. when I did it suggestions were to use only easy off. good luck. worth a try.

I was just thinking using a hand held butane torch to soften it (not get it to hot)

We will try a few different techniques this week
