Here you go Mike......Nothing fancy.......But.....It's variable speed....the normal 4 1/2&quot; grinders run at 10-11,000 RPM.....Using the 3 1/2&quot; wire brushes works out verty well....but, without the variable speed, the grinder runs way too fast and the centrifical force just flattens the brush out and throws the wires right out of the wheel...So....this worked out perfectly....and it's small enough to get into most of those tight spots....



Ken

Well......Now we can get started for &quot;Real&quot;!.......I originally was going to clean the bottom of all the old undercoating......But....After trying to get that stuff off I could see that I was in a losing battle, and I figured that since it had been there for 45 years and since I was building a &quot;Driver&quot;......It would stay!!.......I power washed everything under the car to get all the dirt off......I got the front of the car cleaned and wire brushed......and Painted today......
