Re: Ol' Blue

Here is what the cab and doors look like after doing the "Strip and Dip" process.

Almost all the steel looks like this, multiple layers of old paint removed, some bondo on the bottom of a door where it was dented, any surface rust is gone. The floor will need to be wire wheeled or sanded or something as the solution sat on that flat surface and dried. Now it is like a coating. It can be removed, and it is certainly a lot easier to do just that than the whole cab, doors and hinges.

Next is assemble the painted frame.
