While waiting for my blasting pot to become available I decided to begin the process of stripping the car using my angle grinder and a wire wheel. Works real well. I now know that the car has had 5 different colors of paint applied over the years; Original Signal Red, White, Inca Yellow, some strange Royal Blue Metallic, and the orangish red that was on it when I bought it. Each layer is accompanied with it own layers of primer and bondo.
I flipped the frame rightside up, set the body on it and started grinding. I found that some VDPO had used Bondo in thicknesses up to 3/4" to fill in minor dents and dings. There is bondo 1/8 to 1/4" thick in places where the panel is perfect. ????? What gives? Here are a couple of examples.
