Listers,

 I recently did a bare metal refinish on my TR8 coupe. I had NOT intended t=
o do so........started out as a touch up and then.........

 My pal has a water blasting system that mixes in a media. We used coal dus=
t...aka Black Beauty. It completely stripped the car in a short two hours w=
ith NO panel warpage. Then it took 5 hours the next day with two orbital gr=
inders using 220 grid to cut down the roughage caused by the BB.  In twelve=
 hours we had a very good result. Cost $100 a bag of BB x 3 bags.

 If one is going redo an older car I suggest this be considered.

 As for a TR frame I would get the shell off it and be sure it measures  co=
rrectly. Then I would add various bracing. Then fit the body.

 Yes, getting the gaps is an art !

CHEERS
