Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Ken are you taking it down to metal and repainting the entire underneath or just cleaning it up with the wire ?

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
At some point you might as well pull it off the frame and tip it over.

Re: Biscayne Resto Project
Thanks Ken...I think Verne would kill me if I messed with the underside !! Its pretty nasty but every inch is untouched original 8700 miles with a nice coat of rust. You can't just do a little...you gotta go all the way once you start.
