----Tim,,,At this point you would be surprised what you could do with lacquer thinner and a whole bunch of rags. I did a virgin 63 coupe several years ago and went a bit overboard. It deserved it as the body was unbelieveable. I had a hard time giving it back to my customer as I knew he was going to drive it. Even minimaly any miles would have bothered me. But, I admit to being too anal!...Bill S

Some it has a consistency of undercoating. It would not surprise me if it was undercoated. My next step will be my GoJo hand cleaner trick, especially by the rockers. That is the least caustic. After that, I'm with you Bill on the thinner. That will be a wobbly day

----I also am a bit wary using Lacquer thinner on the inside of an exterior painted panel. Just in case it might bleed thru (which I have seen happen).....Bill S

Tim,

Here you go again with another fabulous Corvette and great stories attached to that particular car.
I (we) always look forward to napa68 threads and posts.
Like a little boy in a man’s body enjoying his new toys. Cheers to that 🍺🍷.

You know how I feel about a 60’s automobile dressed in White with Red.

Congratulations, Chris.
