Really nice to see the progress. I am just in the blowtorch-the-sound-deadener-off stage and can't wait to rust proof the interior. Thanks for the inspiration.
After the trunk is done, that will be next for me. My process will be different. I am going to try the heat gun and pneumatic scraper route. I can put up with the noise a lot easier than the smell and soot. My neighbors might have a differing opinion, but that's the way it is. This is the worst stage and it can be difficult to motivate myself to go dive into the pool of dust. The pay off is when you see it recoated, if just in primer, knowing that you are making progress. Thanks.
