That is cool DG, I hope you can complete your project on schedule. It will be quite a trip. Mine took nearly a year but I was not rushing and actually I still need a good paint job... But as many car enthusiasts know, you never really finish the project, there is always some tweaking and fidgeting.
I hope the best for your mom. I lost my older brother several years ago to a whole cluster of tumors in the brain, inoperable, but thankfully rapid and relatively painless.
Thanks for the kind words, and Im sorry to hear about your brother.
"But as many car enthusiasts know, you never really finish the project, there is always some tweaking and fidgeting." Truer words have never been spoken, lol.
I dont want my thread to have any negative feelings from it so Im going to get back on track. Yesterday, I was feeling a little under the weather and no amount rest or food could get me in the garage before 7pm (it was bloody hot yesterday). I got a bit more of the sound deadening out, but the dry ice melted too quick to get it all, plus i have some hard to reach places still to go. Im a lazy bastard and havenââ,¬â,,¢t taken out the pedals yet so anyone know of a good way to get the crap behind the pedals? With...*ahem*...without taking out the pedals? Previous homeowner left half a bottle of paint thinner that Ill be trying out tonight per Tommys advice

Just use a scrapper and finish up with varsol or any other thinner, that's what I did
(Ive also researched this subject quite a bit and paint thinner, torchs, and acetone seem to be among the top picks to get the remaining crap out.)
Hopefully more exciting updates soon!
