Next up on the list: undercarriage and removing the factory rubberized coating, prime/prep and re-coat. After much trial and error I found the best approach for this project is an oscillating tool with a flat blade (not serrated).
Once the bulk is removed I used a wire wheel to strip the residue and bring it down to bare metal. Tedious project no doubt but after about 5 hours I’ve managed to knock out a little over half the pan. Here is the progress to date:
While this project was underway I had the gauges sent off to Jbell959 for new glass/painted bezels as well as custom work on the tach. John did an incredible job, added a clock and custom painted the face with the some leftover Irish Green paint (Gasurit) that we used on the body. It looks incredible, I highly recommend John for any custom gauge work.
