Redistrip.

Seriously, shrouds are alloy. And over 40 years old aluminum alloy. Anything
"we" use to remove paint requires scraping. And the last thing we need is
trying to scrape bubbling old paint off a 40 plus year old aluminum shroud
with a flat steel scraper....
You might get the paint off, but you can add hundreds of dollars to the prep
by scarring the shrouds removing old paint..
Some things we can do. Some we can't. Unless you've done this before, then I'd
suggest don't learn on aluminum shrouds on your Healey. Get it chemically
dipped by a professional.

As Dirty Harry said, "a man must know his limitations"
Or something like that.....
