Dave did you just warm it up? My 300G looks like someone drove down a fresh asphalt road it is so bad underneath. I was thinking about trying that flooring removal material you can get it Sherwin-Williams

Ha! Thanks Bruce! But it's limited, really. But fear not! It'll be on like Donkey Kong next year for sure!
Bill, yes. Hand held propane torch and a paint scraper. In some areas...a plastic scraper where it was easy to remove to prevent gouging. Brake cleaner afterwards gets rid of the remaining residue. Cheers Dave

Dave...even piecemeal updates will do the trick. I really enjoy your posts!

Are you going to try to get a digital color match sampling of the virgin paint on the underside? It is so hard to get a modern accurate match of that color just from a formula.

I might try that, Steve. I'm curious to see how close that will come out. The good thing is with that undercoating on there is it's been 100% protected from everything, so it should zap pretty perfect with the laser gun. Might have to single stage this one instead of the BC/CC.
Cheers Dave

Yes, go single stage. There is nothing like the original "sheen" that a single stage in these vintage colors versus the way-too-deep, glossy look of modern two stage paints.

Ha. Dave, I knew you couldn't stand to not do something on this car! Overall, it looks reasonably solid. Can't wait to see the restoration go forward!.

Yeah, I know it Phil! Kelly and I have a deal about the Cuda staying together, but nothing says I can't do stuff to it while it's still in one piece!
  More undercarriage and rear wheel well cleaning/scraping to follow. J55 Undercoating option is a pain to remove but it did save the floors and left a pretty friggin' sweet original color sample to boot!!.  Cheers Dave

Good stuff, Jim. I have to go back in my notes, and a phone call to the second {and longest} owner of the car may settle whether it was a black or argent shaker bubble. I"m pretty sure it was argent, but I'll figure that one out! Can't wait to start on it!!!!
Cheers Dave
