Over the last few days i purchased a needle scaler and cleared off all the old peeling undercoating off my 73,,,,I also clean up alot of the surface rust under the car.. Sprayed a nice coating of eastwood rustconvertor,,,,And then sprayed a gallon of undercoating under it and the rear wheel wells,,It looks nice..Will post pics soon...She should be back on the road hopefully soon...

A "needle scaler?" I've never heard of such an implement.Would you mind describing it a bit?(I may need to get myself one as I have the same chore ahead on the wife's car.)

A needle scaler is a type of air tool that has long hardend still pins that vibrate and quickly removes paint, rust, undercoating,,dirt off of metal very easily,,,I bought mine at harbor freight for 20 bucks,,,worth it let me tell you..I scraped and scraped with a putty knife for hours until my uncle told me about it...After i started using it I was completely done with the job and had 100 times better results.

take a look,,,,,there not on sale now,,,,they are 29.99,,,,,

This is why I like to check in each day. Classic Olds Forum is "Like a box of chocolates....you never know what yur gonna git"!! Good info. I want one too.

You guys never learned about needle scalers in school?

That life is a box of chocolate thing is not true. If you know how to read the swirls on top you can tell what they are, they're coded and have been since who knows when. My wife's grandfather was blind and he could tell you exactly what each piece was without fail. He was the cashier at his restaurant too.
