1957 Ford Custom 2 Door

October 26, 2008   Undercoating removal....Uck!!
 

So you say you want to restore a classic car?  Lay on your back for about 50 hours with black greasy dirt and goo dripping on your head and see how you like it...

Here I am scraping 51 years of undercoating, dirt and grim from the bottom of the '57 Custom.  You really have to like the car a bunch to stay with this job. 

 

It's  a slow process, I but loosen the undercoating with a couple of coats of mineral spirits, then use a razor blade style gasket scraper to remove it.
 

 

After I removed everything I could I coated the entire bottom of the car with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator.   Lots of fun!!
