Default Newly Stripping Car Project

Ok everyone, here are pictures of my car since it has been stripped with razorblades and chemical stripper together. What do you all think so far? I have the driver side door jam and front/back bumpers left to strip.

looks good. i did the same thing razor&stripper on my 82. i then hit it with the da &180 to smooth everything then i blocked the whole car with 220 on a soft block just to straighten it out before i primed it. then blocked it again. you have alot of work ahead of you but it will be worth it.

I am hoping to get a professional to do the rest. Bodywork, block and paint are needed now. I thought I was doing a lot of the harder work!!! :-)

Why do you want to stop now? The hard work hasn't even started yet!

Keep going, you can do it

Here's the next stage

Looking good so far, not too much damage, just a few spots, but they don't look bad. Lets us know, what you do next. I remember that phase, when I was doing my 73.
