Ccargo, to ask the obvious question did you take out a tail light or scrape paint off to see what 's underneath. I do hope you get this figured out, this is the fun part of restoration.

Not trying to bust your bubble, but are you sure it is a pace car? White with blue interior does not mean it is.

69z27z87, would that be plastic media? I bought a box to use in my cabinet, it worked great and left the metal form patterns like you say. It is used with real low pressure and high volume. Back in the 80's or 90's when GM had so much trouble with paint pealing a friend put in a unit to do cars for dealers. He was able to control it and leave the factory primer intact.

At $5.00 each it sounds like you should have bought them all.

I would dip takeoff pieces and blast the cab. I'd rather have the media come out then the chemical later. At least the media will be dry. We have a guy here that does a great job with media, actually uses black beauty and does NOT warp sheet metal.

Memory isn't what it used to be, but back in my Corvette days I thought it was known that serial number 1 and 2  1953  Corvettes had been destroyed. Number 3 was known to exist, owned by Bud Thieubud{sp}.

Aren't they supposed to be orange and say Caution Fan? No really, can you read any of the words? When I blow it up I still can't read it. I've never seen one before, not saying they didn't exist.

I'll take back my ALL statement. I forgot about Leno's show. I do understand what you say about exposure.

My mistake, Jon. I do know the difference but guess I was reading into the article as at least one GS was converted.

I know the official theory of AACA is that Shays and Avanti 2's are reproduced cars, but they were both sold as new cars by dealers. Our local Ford dealer sold them. My thought is that AACA is painting themselves in a corner. I've been told by the big dog I don't understand. I agree, I don't, but he can't explain it either.
