Hi all,

I'd like to hear suggestions on how those who have BTDT have removed the
undercoating from the various metal surfaces on a TR6.  I only have the
gas tank and dash to remove on CF28217UO before pulling the body and
getting it dipped/blasted.  The local bodywork guru dropped by my house
last night to check out the job, and he says he'd like to see the
undercoat removed and as much paint as possible before he takes
delivery.

It's around freezing here in Ottawa right now, so the stuff is really
brittle, but it's also really cold on the fingers to be working in the
garage.

So is the best method a stout putty knife/cold chisel and a hammer?
Will chemically stripping the paint also take care of the undercoating?
Is sand blasting aggresive enough to remove this gunk?
