Looks like it's a pretty solid body.  Good luck with your project and keep us updated.

Damn...wish you were closer and my Uncle..I'd buy you case of American Beer :-X and ask you to do mine!  I retired with 33 years in the federal govt and saw a bunch of pampered employees... BUT then again some really hard working ones also!

Joe,
I never tried one of those wheels. I'll have to give it a try next time. Do you use a specific brand or just some generic ones?

I just bought a couple "3M SandBlaster 9681 4-1/2-Inch Coarse Clean-N-Strip Discs" and the required quick change disc holder. Need to remove the original paint on my 33....will let you know how they work.
