Get some chemical stripper. YOu just paint it on with a paint brush and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then take a putty knife and scrape it all off. Make sure you wear gloves and a mask though, it some serious stuff. You'll know if you got it on your skin cause it feels like fire ants biteing you.

body work is always the hard work.

RE: started body work what a pain in the *** job!!!(pics)
I have the same problem as you lol. My dad and I were doing the body work on my quarter panel the other night, they guy I bought it from was hit in the side. It took half and hour to get PART of the quarter panel down to bare metal. Holy $#!^ its thick paint. If its so thick then why do the damn hatches rust so easy!!! And by the way FordMustangXBA Im doing both body work and wiring, now I see why you wont. lol
