Let the sanding begin!

OK a little update. The sanding has begun in earnest.

First I started with sanding disks.... that was ok....

a few hours later I tried wire wheel.... that was less ok

after that I decided distract myself by using a "flapper" sanding disk to grind down the raw angle iron bumper so that the torch cut edges would not inadvertantly remove fingers. That worked realy well. It cuts through steel like butter.

It was only after that I realized that a "dull" flapper might be used for removing paint.



Five hours later with the dull flapper, here are the primered results.


That was reasonably successful, but I think I may have to try something else.
