However, for general stripping of sheet metal I will be
using chemical means if I ever do another one. If your car is totally
stripped, there are companies that will chemically dip the shell and
remove everything but the metal. I don't know how you can find a local
one
and I have no idea what it costs. Maybe someone on the list has had
experience with this process. If I ever do another one like my '69, I
think I would rather go this route.
I kept it moving and was very conscious not to let heat build up, but
I
caused myself a good bit of extra trouble anyway. (Your mileage may
vary!)
Maybe some can avoid doing this kind of damage. And it may have
something
to do with the use of a sandblaster that pours it on fast. Anyway,
please
consider that this can really be an issue and avoid the mistakes I
made!
Another thing about blasting - you need to avoid inhaling the dust,
especially using sand (silica). Spend some $ on protective gear, cause
your lungs, eyes and ears are worth protecting!
There's my 2 cents worth and I hope it is helpful to you.
