The 1959 Panel
Ok now I have started, cleaned all the crap out of it, broken glass and started to remove the front armour plating. I have started to do the old oven clean on the old house paint, mmmm the sign writing looks great, just need to try and get rid of the sign writing over the older signs. it belonged to an electrician.
I'm going to keep it original at this point, just going to try and get it up and running, road worthy and drive.
I'm hoping to get it to Valla this year.
Enjoy
Regards
Ian

RE: Wow, coming up a treat. What brand of oven cleaner are you using? Keep going, loving the logos.
I'm using 3 different types, the Easy Off is the strongest, too strong for the signs
The Selleys Oven clean is good for over the signs, a little more care is needed here.
And the Motsenbocker Lift Off 5 for the tight spots I do with the small tooth brush.
The easy off at Bunnings is the cheapest at $2.70 a can

I know what you mean, the stuff went nuts around lunch time on the warm side of the van.barny wrote:just remember the air/body metal temprature changes the strength of these products too, ie, the warmer the metal the quicker and more aggressive it takes the layers off even the layer your trying to save....
