    Painted the body, or attempted too. It's Eastwood's Dead Rat Flat Black.

    What grit sand paper do I need to use to clean up the little bit of debris I have in the paint?

    Thanks, I'll get some. It wound up with a little bit of zebra stripe on the top. I hope I can get it out.

    Finished scrapeing the belly of the beast yesterday...Someone was very generous with the undercoating. Now to prep and paint the chassis....Mock up the A/C and the hydraulic clutch/master assy...Then I can paint and re-assemble the thing...Its only been apart for 8 years.
