Re: Ford Model A Tudor Modern Twist on a Classic

Firewall is in....

any suggestions on how to polish up sheet metal so its nice and slick for some primer and paint? Firewall is pretty darn smooth, but I want to be able to scuff the quilt pattern a little to clean it up and not sure what I can use. I've tried wet sanding with a scotch brite pad and that worked pretty well.



Video of the fabrication work and some bead rolling.

I think wet sanding and a little wax and grease remover should work.
