    Shaving and Stripping Bay

    Alright, So I have been working on shaving and stripping my bay before I put my s52 in.

    I have a few questions for the gentleman that have accomplished this project already, and can throw some general knowledge my way.

    Progress so far and tools I have.

    I would say progress is @ around 92.5% and mostly down to bare metal.

    I am running into trouble stripping the paint behind the strut housings,
    The battery tray, little nooks and crannies between the radiator support,

    and last but not least:dot:

    The lower parts of the engine bay on the left and right side with the holes in it under the brake booster. I dont know what its called. But FUCK THAT PART OF THE ENGINE BAY

    TOOLS I HAVE:

    Dremel with many attachments.
    DeWalt Angle grinder with 2 different wire wheels.
    Assorted Wire Brushes.

    and I have used a spray can of Paint eater stuff, that surprisingly worked very well.

    I Would like some input on what you guys have Done/TroubleShot During this project.

    Also Any Suggestions are welcome bitches!

          My only suggestion is patience. I honestly wouldn't shave a bay again because it was a giant pain in the ass. lol

              Wow that looks awesome. Did you have to weld in any filler panels to get it flat on the sides or how did you do it?
