Tincup's 63 Dart w/5.7 Hemi

Hello Tin, great job on the project! Have you been machine sanding to bare metal or did you do media blasting? Let us know how that new compressor keeps up with the sanders. I've got a 65 Valiant wagon to strip and I'm up in the air about media blasting or machine sanding. I media blasted my Dart GT years ago and it was about 1200 doing the entire body with it in pieces. I now here it's about 1500-1800 to do a complete strip down and was debating machine sanding to save money. I know it will take time, but trying to save some money on this build. Jayson

Hey Jayson, i guess it would depend on your car, mine is pretty straight with very little rust, so Except for the hood, the car had only 2 paint jobs. I used 4 1/2" stripper discs (black heavy duty scotchbrite) on my electric grinder, worked very well. On the hood ( which had 3 paint jobs) I used Mar-Hyde Talstrip paint stripper, worked great.
