Does anyone have a nifty way to remove the undercoat? Tried a grinder with a wire wheel, but that makes a real mess, and just moves the jello around the plate. Next tried paint stripper and a chissel. That works ok, but not much faster than a sharp chissel. Currently using the sharp chissel, and follow up with a scotch brite pad with kerosene, then follow up with super clean. It works and does not damage the integrity of the paint like stripper does. It is very slow going like mowing the lawn with nailclippers. Thought of pre-soaking the undercoat overnight with kerosene on paper towels, covered by cling wrap (so it does not evaporate).
If there is a better and faster way, please let me know.
On a different but related note. What filler was used in the undercoat. I noticed a gray/white fluffy material was left where the gas tank had leaked, and flushed the tar out. Looks like a mineral fiber that starts with an "a" and does not burn. The tar should hold it together so it does not get airborne, but be cautious when you work with that stuff.
