First off Hello and nice site to be a new member of !!
I'm gonna do this once in my life and never again. Unless I find that Aston Martin DB 4 or 5 barn find.
I have a 67 ragtop that my Dad bought new. It realy could use a new floor, so a total ground up restoration just makes sense.
Tearing every part off the Jag is the easy fun part, but which way to completly strip the tub. The jag has no frame and the body has hidden support boxes that keeps the car in one ridgid piece. Even more so with the convertable. You can only blast what you can see. Done it many times with small items and have used practly every media known to man, but soda is new & cheap, $ 375.00 for my car, and won't remove bondo. Google the machien, its cost about that to buy one out right. But dipping the car is something I have never done before. I've worked with dip strip vats in the Delta hangar years ago, nasty stuff and must be expensive to maintain.
I was brought to this site from a link that showed a Mig aircraft manufacturing shop in Poland that now makes aluminum Cobra bodies. I saw a Jag Tub and bonnet in the back ground.....Now thats the way to go $$$$$$
Let me hear your nightmares and sucesses
