Got a full slant back kit !

[Unionjackjim]

Hi all , picked up a slant back kit today , and although I've been through the tech manuals , I could do with a step by step on removing the turret , ready for shot blasting

That turret support is probably glued to the roof......use hammers and thick sharp putty knifes, and all the rest of the parts just unbolt.
Don't blast the silver bearing, and I would not blast the two black aluminum B pillar tubes.

 

[Unionjackjim]

can you expand on the un bolting part ? unbolt from below 1st or on top ? does the top lift off & the underside drop down ? idiot / child proof instructions please :0) if you have the time

 

[Unionjackjim]

. Well that was hard graft , putty knife worked a treat , next time it will be easy , I will update progress as the job gets done

What colour scheme are you going for - and are you using CARC or water based paints?
