There is a water soluble product that the Automotive paint shops
sell for undercoat removal. Sorry I don't off hand know the name of the
product but a friend of mine use it to strip the undercoat off the bottom
of his 65 Mustang. It took 2 or 3 applications to get it all off, it left
the primer and you just wipe or hose it off with water. He had the car on a
rotisserie and he put a plastic sheet below the car to catch the undercoat,
let the water run off or dry off then toss the plastic and undercoat.

Hi,
This has been the standard procedure if the car is stripped. Mine is on a
rotisserie and it was heat, scrape, wire brush, heat, scrape, wire brush you
get the idea. I spoke with a knowledgeable restorer and he had done the
same until an old hot rod guy gave him this tip.
Use easy off oven cleaner let it set for awhile and scrape it off down to
them metal no problem. It works but you need to neutralize the acid. Use 1
tbs baking soda and 1 tbs vinegar in a 1/2 gallon of water. Wipe it down
clean as whistle. I sent pictures to Mark of my progress. It really does
work and reduces the labor 10 fold.

Mark- Did you have a Sunbeam at 14 too??
Mark- an ox/aceteylen torch might make to much heat unles you have lots of
experience and too, fire is something you might encounter but from what you
said, I would try heat and a strong putty knife- the 2.5 to 3" type. Maybe a
bottle torch like used to solder copper tubing might be hot enough. Again, I
imangine the material will catch fire, so be careful and have something
handy in case and also I would wear proper breathing respirator. Often the
fumes from materials like those mentioned put off several types of gas when
burned. Let us know what works as you are likely to receive many ideas. TtT
