Frame stripping & sanding by hand advice

[Tombstones81]

Honestly, if your doing it ALL by hand..... DONT! if you have other options!

I have no power tools.
Just my mitts & material.

wasnt sure exactly how much of the original paint to take off so I took off as much of it down to the bare metal as I can. (which was ALOT)

3 to 4 hours yesterday morning to finish stripping and sanding it down.
It was fun at first but UGH!

that is the One piece I should have gotten sand blasted.

So a little advice for those who dont Really enjoy it.
If you have the $$$ and need to strip your frame down to bare metal.
Sand blast it!

But at least everything else is going to be smooth as butter in comparison!
