came out good. i love those stripper wheels in a 4 1/2" grinder, what do you use them in a right angle die grinder?............ it would be cool to chop the bulge off and weld it on a flat dart hood.
i use them in a die grinder.........and nobody is choopin off my bulge  |

Did you use a wire wheel to strip the top? It looks like it with the trail marks. I use that method frequently...dont have the patience for 80 grit and a DA.  paint stripper first then one of these 3m wheels. i use em all the time. they kick ass but they dont screw up the metal. Do you have a part number on those? |

Makes me wonder how my 70 Super Bee-R/t hood scoop would look on my 68 Dart.  And man you do good work. Looks great.  |

Eldubb thanks for the pics , I have a question around how long do last cleanning the humps and dips and valleys of the under hood structure ? should I buy a hand full or the 50 ct. box they look like they do wonders on the trunk crumple zones and door jams , Save my hands from looking like I ran em over a cheese grater ,

they last pretty long, and when they get small, you can use em in the tighter areas.......they run about 8 bucks a piece, just get a handfull. ive seen 10 packs, no need for 50. they can be bought individually already mounted to an arbour. |

I had a 68 coronet 440 that I unwillingly HAD to junk that had a beautiful power bulge hood, and the body on the car was really nice also. Made me sick to scrap it, but I had very little choice, no one would buy it.
