Sandblasting frame and inner panels for repainting

Posted by Keith Lawrence on January 22, 2004 at 09:34:25:

Hi All,

I've started to remove the body (still attached to the inner panels) so I can sandblast and repaint the frame and panels. I have a little rust, but want to make sure its stopped.

Does anyone have any "words of wisdom" for this task?

I was hoping to not remove the FG body to strip the inner panels, but could be easily convinced to do this little amount of extra work.
BTW - check your bolts holding your rear panel to the shock upright - all of mine but one bolt sheared at very low torque and my floor pan was not secured in the front to the frame. Glad I'm doing this work - hate to think what would happen on the street or track if the shock upright bolts decided to "revolt at the same time".

Thanks
Keith
