Re: [FWDLK] frame and bodyshell restoration



Jack -

        I am leary of this type of paint stripping because the chemicals can get
trapped in all the lapped panels present on our 58 Plymouths.  It would be
ugly if we paid an excessive amount for a paint job, only to see it
bubbling up by the seams as the chemicals find their way out.  I feel that
dry stripping (plastic media, baking soda or old fashioned sanding) is the
way to go.
