Yes it is tough stuff, not sure if the stripper is softening it a little but I find I can scrape it off with some elbow grease.

Looks pretty straight, but you’re going to skim bog later, right?

Hi Clay yes Keith was pretty happy at how straight it is but yes he is going to spray putty or whatever it is the body gurus do once we glue it on.

Without EK Mart this wagon, named the Reverend by Blacky cause it's holey :roll: :roll:, would have been scrap so I suppose I have to thank whoever did cut that roof off and brought it back, if it was you Blacky then well done, wish whoever had left a little more of the A and B pillars though :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wire brushed the inside and rust killed Keith’s happy so Easter hair should be a go.
