Schmoot ~ your car is really tricked out. Tell us those photo shots are a before and after. Did you weld new sheet metal to the rusted areas or did you use gallons of bondo? Wow. Im speechless. How does your short ram work?

omg.. did you just say "tricked out?" Yes, yes he did. He used the words "Tricked Out" because can't you see by the stickers and wing on his car that he was in Fast and the Furious I'm starting to sand the paint off my car soon, got any tips on what grits of sand paper I should use?

Are you stripping it to bare metal? If so, just use a chemical strip, and then use 1000 grit after that. if your'e jsut trying to roughen it up a bit, I would say 1500 would be good enough.
