Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    The old way, or the new way.

    I was thinking about taking all the paint off of my car and i was wondering if you guys used a power tool, or just your two hands.

              if you get a good one thats the easiest way. just harsh on the smell though. and tough wit the skin if contacted.

              but power tool is better. faster. easier than hand.

                uhhh paint stripper only takes the pait off and you still have to sand it cause stripper wont take all those nasty little scratches off that everyone gets from having a car thats kinda old.
                F22b + MP1A = mad fun for me now. . .

                          I agree, power sanding is quicker.. but not as clean. but thats just from my experience.

                              whoa, trash talk in the noobie forums!!!!

                              anyways, use a DA, palm sander, orbital, something, and use like 80 grit. bye bye paint. smooth it all out with 220 when done then feather out your edges with 400 then wetsand progressively higher.
