It was no problem. I liked finally seeing something coated after I blasted it. We should have put on the TYVEK suits I have and used those blue gloves I had. I ended up getting some of the POR 15 in my hair, on my face, and on one of my contacts!  
Here are my battle wounds.

so is this going to be AWD or RWD?

Just kidding. But in all seriousness, have you thought of a name for the car? Perhaps the Nazi sled? Or maybe even The World War 2 Whip?

I’ve used POR-15 before and gotten it on my hands, it took about 4-5 days to completely disappear with me scrubbing them like crazy twice a day. It gets down in your skin.

It wasn’t as bad as your arm though, so… just wear long sleeves for the next week.

Looking good. Impressive work. Very Impressive.

This car does not deserve a VIN.

It should say “Newman built this…”
