August 11- stripping some more paint


I went to Oriley's Auto Parts (Checker) yesterday and found some "Airplane paint stripper"- this is what everyone is telling me is "your last resort". It's made by Mar-Hyde called Tal Strip II- thick, blue and potent. This will take the paint off of anything. It really did an amazing job of even taking off some underlying oil based paint. Kim has been helping me- our goal is to do a quarter panel a night. we did the back yesterday and a little side today.  Great stuff, but burns like hell if you get a drop on you. We are going to try to bring it back to polished aluminum, but discovering a few dents we didn't see and some rust on the roof. We'll see.  Here are some before and after pics.
