beandip Posted October 31, 2008 Share #14 Posted October 31, 2008 Thanks, Zak.Yep, sound's like I've got some work to do! As I was already prepared to overhaul the engine, I guess the first step would be to pull the dang thing out. My wife isn't going to like not having a garage for her Lincoln but oh well I'll let you guys know how bad it is once I start sanding. Thanks again. -Aaron Aaron, I did my complete job in my 2 car garage and my Wife's car was always able to be in the garage at night. Especially a good thing in Winter. I went to Harbor Fright and bought a set of dollies . with all four wheels on them I just pulled the car to the center of the garage to work on and pushed her back by the work bench after clean up . With these I could also rotate the Z end for end for better lighting on the area I was working on. Makes clean up easier also. With the engine out it is vary easy to roll the Z around, a little harder once the engine and tranny is installed but still a can do with no problem.

aronlove Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share #15 Posted October 31, 2008 Thanks so much for all the tips! This site ROCKS! Well, I guess first step is prepping the garage for the mess the aircraft stripper is going to make... I'll post some pics so everyone can see He he -aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five&dime Posted October 31, 2008 Share #16 Posted October 31, 2008 Just be careful and do not get that stuff in your eyes. It burns like hell even when you get overspray on your skin. I love the drop cloth method b/c there really isn't any cleanup. Good luck on your project!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiluj Posted October 31, 2008 Share #17 Posted October 31, 2008 Regarding the aircraft paint stripper. Get some "good" chemical resistant gloves. I used it to strip a car to bare metal. I started with "industrial" thickness vinyl gloves and after 30 minutes could feel it burning my skin. That problem was solved when I ordered a pair of the proper gloves from McMaster-Carr.

five&dime Posted October 31, 2008 Share #18 Posted October 31, 2008 I just suck it up and pay careful attention to wind direction. The first time I got a cross wind and got blasted in the face by a miniscule amount of the overspray was the last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
