Oof! Good thing you're getting that mess off but terrifying what's hidden underneath! A lot of repair and fabrication in the future for this one (which means more videos/content)! Go Seattle Speed Shop, keep moving forward!
I am doing a frame off resto on a 1938 Hillman Minx roadster and I had to remove 6 coats of paint because they used a thin coat of Bondo or something under the paint and it was falling off in chunks. I used a metal resurfacer.
The Chev is in near new condition compared to some of the stuff Tim shows getting bought off mid west corn fields. I'd figure that paint was epoxy without hardener except it looks pre epoxy.
Is that a V-12 flathead sitting there? I saw a V-16 flathead one time, the guy said it came out of a Packard, it was just sitting on the ground in his junkyard.
Good grief! Any idea what they "painted" it with? I did my old Skylark with Rust-o-leum and even that hardened up and has lasted 10 years. Are you using acetone or lacquer thinner to soften it up and scrape it off?
Looks like a lot of material cost to having that kind of removal. Have you ever tried a Scotch Brite Clean and Strip disc? I stripped a Model A 5 window body of 5 coats of paint with three discs: Scotch-Brite™ 048011-33194 Non-Woven Clean and Strip XT Disc. That's the 4 1/2", comes in seven inch by changing the last number from 4 to 6. Still tedious, but the fastest, economical way I've found.
I haven't, I'll have to look into those. I'm about 60-70 bucks in material costs? One pack of sanding disks, a gallon of lacquer thinner, couple Scotch Brite pads and a roll of paper towels. My main concern would have been the 3m disks getting gummed up with the paint.
Yeah, but I'm glad I was there because it gave me a great shot in it's "drip" phase, lol!
@fractaljack it's a great shot Jackson!
Well, looks like it is cleaning up nicely.
It is!
You know Matt, that car would be really cool with a Pontiac OHC six.
And it just so happens.....
I'd be keeping that OHC 6 for myself. Lol
@@Seattle_Speed_Shop Maybe we can work something out...

It's not terrible, just had some bad work at one point. Mostly a pretty solid car.

Good eye. It's a lincoln v12. Gonna go in a customers car, hopefully next year.

Lacquer thinner. I'm not sure what they used or what went wrong!
Sandblast it to get the paint off, then sand it.😅😅
