- With all the talk of people trying to remove undercoating, is undercoating generally a good idea? specifically a good idea for a roadster? Is there a better process? I'm going to be 'restoring' a roa

- Are you trying to remove the "tar paper" from the inside floor, or the exterior undercoating? I found the job to go best when it is COLD! Heating makes it a giant mess. With a rubber mallet and big

- Undercoating is nice for a few years but after a while it dries out and starts to crack. Moisture gets in the cracks and voila rusted floors. It happened to my 240 even though I did scrape off all th

- You are correct that everything is stripped by immersion. That isn't quite a drawback though. Would you really want to do a frame off restoration and leave 30+ year old cracked and hardened seam sea

- The paint on my car is 10 years old now and all is still fine. The guy who stripped my car used a high volume low pressure blaster using plastic media and constantly moved the gun. There were no war

- What's even more fun is finding a leftover part, remembering you should heve put it back on several steps back, taking the car apart again, only to discover you put a new one on! Not that anything li

- There is truth to this, but I think the peening-over-rust dangers of sandblasting are overstated. Of course a dipping place will tell you blasting will ruin your car, and a blasting place will tell y

- FWIW, companies that blast cars don't use sand anymore at least the better ones don't. As a matter of fact with all the pamphlets I receive at various car shows and swap meets there isn't one company
