Got the doors back from Techno-Strip today, other than a couple of dents they are nice rust-free doors :banana:

I'm not sure the chemical they use, but it's well worth the money as far as saving time goes, I've been using them for years.

Hey Alan, another question. Would you know if their process removes bondo/body filler. My original 1970 Barracuda rear valance is filled with it and I'd like to see if it can be made useable whenever my car gets to that point.

YUP 100% cleans everything right off...you might not like what you find though.... :rofl: bondo can hide a lot !

I found 17 ugly patches just like this one in the pair of fenders the customer swore were in "great" condition... :drunk:

...and this was the good side  :rubeyes:

Yes it would remove that as well...unfortunate, but you can replace it with carefully placed gobs or seam sealer. :alan2cents:

Looks to be in good shape Alan. Usual suspects with the rust in the quarters etc. but the structural components look very nice.  :ohyeah: :ohyeah:

Yea for sure, we're actively looking for a similar condition 70-71 Barracuda to build a resto-mod out of... :takealook:  if you know of anything even out your way...
