The 63 Grand Prix is coming along nicely. The doors are in primer, and straight as a whistle. Next up was removal of the trunk lid and hood, and taking them to the acid dipper two weeks ago. I was a little more concerned about what was under that white house paint on the trunk. Good news: both pieces came back cleaner than a baby's bottom--although a few very slight pin holes on the inner edge of the lid. My body guy, Mike, is going to repair them the old-fashioned way with lead. Advice to everyone contemplating paint removal on a project: acid dipping is the way to go! Fenders are next, along with the cowl and some assorted stuff on the front clip. Slowly, but surely slowly, it'll take weeks to get that all off. No hurry, the project is a journey, not a race.
