Hey thanks for the PM.
I saw this thread at work but the pics are blcked at work, anyway very nice work.

1) when you installed the hood surround what did you use to hold the nose in place was it the bumper support?

2) where did you get your glass, this is the route I want to go but my RH fender is still good.... hard to decide what yo do

great pics got anymore? I love working on glass as well!

Default Paint stripper

What do you use to remove the paint?

Thanks

Nice work.

If you want to visit central Missouri, you can fly out here and help me get my inner fender problem fixed...

I chemicaly stripped that one,neutralized the stripper and sanded off the remnants. How I strip a particular vette depends on the age,thickness and type of the paint. Depending on what those factors are ,I choose the path of least resistance which ultimately means cost effectiveness.
