I have never thought about this, but of course you do... It will be next to impossible to clean all that fine sand/glass out afterwards. That was a good tip for us not that experienced with sanding

We are actually do not touch flat places, like roof, hood, fenders or quarters (if are usable) with sand. We did it in past, but ewerytime (even if the air presure was low, or amount of sand las low) painters feel small deformations. So now we only clean flat places around, and clean all what is hidden with sand - then flat places clean by hands, with special tools. I do not know what I will decide with this roof, becouse it is in nightmare condition (some US was dancing on it )

så er din Manta! Like with every car putting back together.... every day more problems... and You see car, but can't enjoy ride. I was thinking that it will be esy with european car.... no way! I forgot to tell You... we do some test drive, like we discuss try to burn one set of tires.... and shaft between trany and rear end broke....

Lol to strong engine for this old Car. we have to be careful to talk about not amricanske cars. or we are thrown out
Do you have a lokal wal napedowy shop ho kan make its stronger?

Keep up the good work. I enjoy watching full restorations. And best of all, lots of pics.

You should get a new sandblaster

what is better with a new type sandblaster versus old style, do the panel not twist, make less heat?

its pretty common that this happens if the rear shocks are worn out, and you experience wheelhop when you do a burn out.. it is possible to buy new ones, made from stronger material.

so next time, lift your foot of the pedal when the wheels starts to hop! it'll save the torque shaft from breaking.. been there, done that already!

Geir Sverre, snakk med johnny i sveio om en slik, han vet hvor du får kjøpt sterkere momenthylser!

Why You think so? I have werry good stuff Waving come becouse of metod, not becouse bad machine. We have lot of experience with sanding, work only on low presure, but waves always can happen. It is not kind of waves like sinus +/- 10mm werry small deformations, possile to find only with touching and fingers... but after all it is more work for painter, and more filler on car - so better to take old paint with hands. If You was thinking, that we have to get soda blasting or something..... we has soda blasting, but soda do not work good with US rusted cars soda takes only paint (mostly new kind) old toxic paints and undercoats are hard to take out with soda (but possible), and US rust is not possible to clean with soda blasting

All shock/bushing are new it hapen becouse rubber joint, not metal u-joint was in oryginal shaft. I send all to specialized company do not worry I can take care about these small things and problems they will change shaft in to a full metal witj u-joints.

Back to Mustang restoration.....
After sanding I has cover bare metal (at the place where it will be covered soon by new panel) with welding primer. Factory there was not painted area... why they do not secure metal inside at factory?

Welcome to the forum, Adam.
I was following grogei's tread with the Blue Horse. That was a great job!

Regarding the bare metal issue: I think they did't paint the inside, because of the cost and labor with it. And the cars where suposed to last only a few years, and then you bougth a new one.

Adam we are missing Update on the Mustang

Men han kan ikke være 2 plasser til samme tid, han tok med seg White Christmas til Stavanger.

Som vanlig er jeg på jobb, så håper Janne tok godt vare på han og at han ikke ble sjøsyk over fjorden.hvit jul.jpeg[/attachment]
