    Product for the price asked does have me wondering about the true value of the roadster. Is it just the chassis and the body ready to begin full restoration?

    Thanks OBC!

    I'm using my monokote heat gun because I dont want to burn through it and Chevy paint jobs blow! Its not too bad when its above 30? out, today helped a lot. Only have the passenger side left then I have to go back and get rid on the adhesive spots which are all grey on a white van so that make it easy to spot. Between the vinyl off and the adhesive remover it's been easy but still a PIA.


    Gk that's not even a question, 5k for a 32 even if it's a kit is a crazy smoking deal.

    If I had a shop, I'd consider working on that old tow truck. That'd be cool to cruise around, even though I don't even like old cars.

    Hey brother....I have removed a metric shit ton of decals and striping and adhesive. There are some techniques I'd be happy to share with you if you are facing this type of project on any kind of frequent basis.

    Brother I love you (no homo) and that's a badass offer but I'm doing this just to earn a little cash and save the company (startup) some cash. Couldn't throw down the 1-1.k for it to be "professionally" removed. Since we won't be wrapping it with the new company stuff I figure I'd rather save the cash and put it in my pocket and or some upgrades equipment. This will be the only one I do, it's not bad just tedious.

    Hell yea I would totally pimp that. Get it running and fix up the interior and leave the exterior for awhile, its actually a "in" thing to do according to my cable box.
