Thats the whole reason I got this car Gpuller. An automatic wasn't even a consideration. I went for a ride in a coworkers 70 V code 4 speed back in 95, and have never been able to shake that feeling. I swore to myself that some day I would own a 4 speed Bee. Only took 19 years!

Good for you sticking with the dream. Welcome to FBBO - stick around and post your restoration progress...you'll get plenty of help here. :hello2:

Not sure what I'm going to do yet 70satellite. I don't feel like spending $1000+ blasting metal that is going to get cut out anyway. I stripped cars by hand in the past and it is a real big pain, but it's a whole lot cheaper. If the car was mostly rust free I would have it soda blasted. There are several guys that are mobile and will come right to your door, that is worth the money in my opinion. But since 80% of the metal in this car is gonna get replaced anyway, I think the money would be better spent on AMD panels.

Yes that sounds like what I am doing, I replaced the floor and trunk and cut everything else off. I am blasting whats left with crushed glass from northern. I am going to bring my hood doors and deck lid in for blasting though. The roof is the only part that I want done but I cant justify towing it so it will get da sanded. You are welcome to use the pressure pot when I am done with it. I ordered the correct tips for it from zoro tools sized to a 60 gallon compressor cfm and it runs like a champ.
