I’m literally at the same stage with a ‘73 I chiseled all the tar off but used a wire wheel on a 4 1/2 grinder to clean the chassis. The floor pans were toast though so I have two new ones on the way. Keep the videos coming. 👍🏻
I saw a guy take dry ice pellets and put it in the floorboards for 10-15 min thus freezing the sound deadner and then he scooped up the dry ice and moved it to the other side and then he proceeded to break off the sound deadner in huge chunks after it froze. thus leaving clean bare metal floors.. I couldnt believe how efficient this was, just thought id pass along this tip...
I'm gonna find a portable car tent like that for my project. I want to blast my own frame chassis and eventually the body and do my own painting. A heavy duty degreaser and tar remover will help remove the tar coating before a good pressure washing.
@@bottomupbuilds Yeah I found it after I looked it up. Might get2, 1 for the blasting and then 1 for painting. Or set up a diy paint booth but that def seems legit for blasting.
@@bottomupbuilds Awesome! Thank you for that info. I’m excited for future videos, you do a great job of explaining your process and I appreciate your attention to detail, which I try to emulate in my own project!

I am using the Harbor Freight 110 lb sand blaster with coal slag media from Tractor Supply, medium grit is all it says on the bag. I have a Bel Aire 80 gallon 5 hp two-stage compressor, pressure set to, I think about 100 psi. Even though the compressor is beefy compared to home garage standards, it was still under powered for the job. I was able to get a minute or 2 of blasting before I had to wait for it to catch back up.

SpeedoKote SMR-207/211 - Hot Rod Black Paint, Black Satin 2K Urethane, SMR-207 4:1 mix Single Stage Gallon kit with activator included. I wish I could report on how is held up, but the car has not left the garage since I painted that, so I have no real world review to give.

Common to have to replace them for sure, luckily mine were in decent shape and I didn't have to replace them

Great work. Your honest about your mistakes. I did the same thing with the tape and seam sealer, but took the tape off after it dried! 😔
Just about to start this process on our '72 bug. Thanks for the video guys, super useful and easy to follow!
great video, love your methods to reuse ther blast material , its time consuming messy but the finished product looks brilliant thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for this video. It was awesome.
Thanks for watching!
Nice work! Those parts look great
Thank you!!

Go for it! I got my tent at harbor freight, I'm not sure if that was mentioned in the video.

Great video
Wow u know what u do
Which rust converter did you use??? Can’t wait to watch the next episode.
Looks like I used klean strip brand, concrete and metal prep
Great video! What did you use as a primer? Also, any chance you’re still working on more vids for this project? I really enjoy the few that you have!
It's been a while, but it looks like I used Speedokote DTM primer/sealer in gray. Yes, I hope to get back to it sooner than later!

Do you have a link of the tent? A tent like that will def help me out.

What paint did you use(black)

Are you not concerned about UV safety for your bare arms?
I probably should be, but, that day I probably was thinking to get things done more than what shirt I was wearing.
Be careful with sandblasting.
I watched the other video of you installing floor pans after you sandblasted them what a waste of time
Thanks for watching! I don't have a video about installing floor pans though, so maybe somebody different.
