SCCA ITS 2nd Gen build

Actually, there is a tool for undercoat removal. It is a "Crud Buster" or Dynabrade's "Dynazip". It's a wire wheel that really works well and actually leaves the metal with a light sand-blast look. Originally designed to remove ship barnacles.

Sometimes the dry ice works (liquid nitrogen always works but is a bit difficult to handle); heat guns, scrapers and torches work with a bit of danger attached.

crud buster?? can u find this at your local home depot??

[benspeed]

The crud buster is a great suggestion. I do boats in addition to race cars and I've been planning on buying one of those barnacle grinders for my express cruiser to prep it for the spring. Figure I'll buy that for the race car too! Most online boat supply shops sell the disks & wheels.

I'll look for the Dynazip

The Dynazip is great. Wurth makes the same type of tool as does Astro. Caution--the wire wheel consumables are not cheap.

Do you have a rulebook?

If it doesn't say you can, you CAN'T.

As the rules say, though,

Engine compartment insulation may be

removed.

Which would include the hood insulation. you cannot remove metal, though.

How's the project coming?
