I stopped by Harbor Freight on the way home from the Michigan Vintage VW Club Annual Car Show to get the needle scaler air tool I mentioned in my previous post.  I came home and tried it out.  It works GREAT!  I can’t wait to get all the undercoating off.  Should be a quick job with this tool.  It’s a fun tool to use too!  You’ll definitely want to wear eye protection, mask, and ear protection though.  Here’s a video of me using the tool.

I started to remove the undercoating today.  I used a steel brush wheel on my drill.  It didn’t work all that great, but it did kind of work.  It removed it, but it would also heat up at times and just smear the undercoating. I researched a better tool to use and found out about something called a Needle Scaler.  I’ll have to get one and try it out.  Here are some pics of the undercoating with some of it removed toward the front of the car…
