Really enjoying the channel Howard. I like the tips that you’re able to give that will help us out here tackling builds and resto’s for the first time. Thank You
Howard, what media would you recommend to strip 2 pack paint off a plastic grille ? I have an XD grille which I'd like to strip back to original plastic. I've heard that some use Soda blasting, but I wouldn't have a clue as I've never used one. Cheers mate.
I didn't think you could safely remove this skin off the frame without warping it. At trade school I was told off for knocking out big dags of adhesive because "you'll never get the skin shape the same again" 😲 ha - watch this n learn boys 🙏💪👍

Hi Gents, love the channel, what kind of wire wheel/brush do you use to grind your holes before welding, can't seem to find any. Cheers.
have a look in your welding supply store, BOC etc

I haven’t done one either, but soda should work ok
Great job Howard, just curious what size mig wire do run in you welding machine?
.6 or .8
Normally .8 😀
When you mig welded all those holes or however you filled them , was there any distortion in the other skin ? Thanks
I normally tig weld and there will always be some distortion
I’m going to do my xa Fairmont just like that it makes it into a better job
I’m surprised you didn’t blast the skin ? My blaster uses low pressure (30-40psi),high volume (350-400cfm) (plastic/garnet).never warps ,ever
Your lucky to have someone near you that can do that.
