I am sure that you have heard of the 90-10 rule. In fact there are several of these rules actually. The one that I am thinking
of says that 90% of the work can be done with 10% of the effort....That leaves the 10% of the work which requires...you guessed
it. I bought some good quality automotive paint stripper, a good respirator, and some chemical resistant rubber gloves,
along with a generous supply of steel wool. When putting this stuff on, be sure that it is really well ventilated. The instructions
say it, and now I believe it. I created a very smokey environment when I started using this stuff in the garage. (I live
in upstate NY... It's cold out there) The very straight surfaces such as the roof and the flat portions of the hood were not
too bad, the rest was hell. It did not help that there are 4 layers of paint on this car. (and about 50 pounds of Bondo)
The quarter has paint on it still because it is going to be cut away and replaced.
