Got an extra day this weekend due to the rain, so I started stripping down the body. I got both rear fenders and the steps all stripped to bare metal in about 5 hours. Used a combo of 80grit on a DA but mostly 4” stripping disc. One fender had a repair done with some kinda crazy gummy epoxy, or something clogged up 2 pieces of paper before getting threw it.
Today was not fun
but satisfying these fenders are in excellent shape for the age.
