I used some secret tricks, learned from a friend who's been doing this stuff for several decades. Propane torch, putty knife, scrape most of it off. Then use gasoline and steel wool to get most of the rest off. Then we'll scuff it with something like reducer or lacquer thinner and scotchbrite before shooting on more primer on the bottom. Inside the car I'll probably spend a while using bondo and sanding, and a couple coats of primer to smooth it out.
In other words, it's just a lot of damn work.My fabulous web page

Gasoline didn't used to burn my skin - but now it does, not sure if I've gotten alergic to it, or it's the ethanol that didn't used to be in it.
Working in a well ventilated area sure is easy when you can work outside this time of year!
Keep working safely Jim - don't want to hear about this project or you going up in smoke from gas fumes!There's always something new to learn.
