I burned up a Black and Decker 1/4" drill doing that in 1985 when I did the first build on mine. I bought a compressor so I could run a 4" DA. Then got tired of waiting for the air to build and, when I got my shop, got a real compressor. Good to see the kid diving in, my grand son kind of petered out...

i bet your hand is still vibrating from that palm sander hey? How long did it take to strip that bed side? I stripped a fender with one and it took 35 minutes with 100 grit. My hand was feeling it for a day afterwards. The progress is looking good man. What are the final plans for a color on this lowrider?

tpimuncie 10-02-2013 08:30 PM

Re: My 1959 apache project
 
Lol my nephew had stripped it this sunmer but i never epoxied it so pops resanded it for me. Im not even sure about the colors yet, two tone but no clue yet maybe something simple n easy.
