Here we are at Dan's Painting & Sandblasting

We left our shop at 5:30am so we could get there when they opened at 8:00am.

This is a picture of Nina, Dan and Ray Skinner, owners of Dan's Painting & Sandblasting, hard at work.

As soon as we got to the shop, they started working on getting the car Acu-Stripped.  They taped up the side windows and vents to make sure they wouldn't get damaged and removed the trunk lid so they could Acu-Strip it and the surrounding areas completely. 

They Acu-Stripped all the window and door frames and other needed items on the top of the body and the engine compartment with soda.  They then set the car on four concrete filled drums so they could get to the road grime and undercoating underneath the car.  For this area, they used a different media, as the undercoating was sticky and difficult to come off. 

When they had finished the Acu-Strip process, they blew all the media out of all the cracks & crevices and reloaded the car on the trailer.  They did such a complete job.  It took them about 7 hours to complete.  But when they were done, it was VERY smooth.

We REALLY appreciate the great job that they did and the fast turn-around time....If you need anything stripped, give them a call.

Here are some pictures of the Acu-Strip in progress and the after-effects.

 

We expect the Whirly Jig Rotisserie to be here the week of Aug 26th.  Then we can start on the underneath of the car.   See the Undercarriage page for more.
