Prior to disassembly, buy freezer bags that have a place
to write on and a strong seal so nothing falls out.
|
When parts are too big for freezer bags and
totes, place on the rotisserie!!! At
this point the car has been stripped to bare metal using a razor blade
and sandpaper. You can use other media however their particles can
prove to be a hassle during the paint process if not adequately
addressed. |
|
With the car stripped to this level - now is the
perfect time to address any and all imperfections. I found, much
to my pleasure, only a minimal amount of surface rust on the floor pans.
I wire wheeled them and applied a very hard rust inhibitor.
(Trivia - the roll bar was actually installed on the assembly line by
Ford). |

After all issues have been addressed and the
underside has been primed with DP90 (Red Oxide Primer) and the body with
DP40 (Grey Primer), The car is then taken off the rotisserie and placed
on a wooden dolly. Specifically made to measure - it allows for
easy maneuverability without the slightest risk of getting paint on any
of the suspension parts. (Trivia - Ford actually used a metal dolly
going down the assembly line - you might still find bare metal
circles on the underside where it was attached). |
 |
When all is said and done there will be an
accumulation of over 100 hours of block sanding prior to paint being
applied - what you see here is just the beginning! |
