Rick I wish I had a bead blaster, and one the grill would fit into too.
Doing  all the prep work buy hand is going to be just as if not more
time consuming than doing the 2 sill plates. I got about 4 hours into
one headlight door to have it ready for starting to  paint. I made a
wooden jig to screw the headlight door to to paint it this afternoon out
of 1"X1" wooden balister and another piece of 1/2"X1" screwed and glued
4 pieces of them together so I can screw the head light door to it. I
will have to modify it to use on the other side. If I remember correctly
you have the same late 74-77 Hornet grill on you Gremlin so you know the
amount of work that needs to be done. I still have till June 4th for the
first official showing of the car. I still have the rear window louver
to paint to match the car and all the 77 AMX flairs to strip and paint
too. :-( The bead blaster seems like it would work on the flairs. I have
to chemically strip them with a plastic bumper stripper as they were
previously painted with Dupont Centari acrylic enamel without the flex
additive. I have extras so I already made a test to see if it will work
without damaging the flairs. The rear widow louver has been soda blasted
and is sitting in the back of my garage waiting to be sanded and prepped
for paint. Before I install the louver I have to fix a dent in the hatch
and paint that too, it never ends. But my doctor's say's this is good
exercise for me and therapy too!!! :-)
