today i started the tediously slow process of zip stripping my fire wall and cowl. after i removed the loose paint i wire wheeled on the drill and used some coarse steel wool to remove the rest of the paint. then i wiped over with laquer thinner.
is there something else i should be using to make sure there is no more zip strip on the metal. tomorrow i'm going to work on a few more areas, try and get the small pits with rust in it taken care of, and i'm going to spray bomb self etching primer on the bare metal.
also, i bought a bottle of a rust remover, i belive its called naval jelly, anyone familiar with this?? i was going to use this in the pitted sheet metal to remove the rest of the surface rust before spray bombing it.
this is my first attempt at stripping the body down, i bought a 10 gallon abrasive blaster and some walnut shell in case i need to spot sand some hard to reach areas. i've never done this before and don't want to create problems for the paint shop down the road.
thanks in advance, Rich
