There's some stuff called Peelaway 7 that is at Home Depot, etc. Here is a link to someone who used it to remove wheel well undercoating. Amazing stuff. It was designed for removing linoleum tile cement.

Default Re: my first restoration!

well she got on a rotisserie today! It was a lot of hard work stripping it (top side), but I did most of it at their shop. (btw, the old scratched windshield I scrapped did have the pits from the grinder sparks in it, just as predicted. You guys were right about that!).

The restoration shop took the rear end out and the front suspension, doors off, and the firewall stuff.

Going to be blasted tomorrow (settled on glass beads for everything, but walnut shells for outer body). They will remove all the brake lines in the morning before the media blaster gets there.

Its funny, the whole bottom of the car is the original dipping primer (gray), no rust proof. There is no blue paint on it (yet all the restorations I see, those cars are painted body color underneath). I am going to have it painted gray underneath like it was born. I will get pictures of that in the morning.

I am EXCITED!!!!!! Hope to watch some of the blasting tomorrow.
