Fatboy, you're going like a German band! Hang in there.
All that bare metal :o -what's you preferred method of paint removal? stripper or sanding?

[FATBOY]

Paint stripper get the panel hot scratch the panel with 36 grit apply the stripper put plastic over the top of that then leave for 20 30 minutes then peal it off and scrape the reidue off then wipe over with thinners .THen go over the panel with astrippa disc looks like seaweed then wipe over with deoxidine or similar
