Redoing Dash (was TR3A Radio Location)

[WLHoss@aol.com]

First I want to thank everyone who responded about how to mount a radio in a 
TR3A.  It's going to take some thinking about before I do it, but since the 
car is spread out all over the place waiting for "the magic to happen," I have 
time.
 
My new question is about the dash.  What seems to be the best way to strip 
the original material off the metal?  If it wasn't that I have to fill in some 
extra holes I could probably cover over it, it's on so tight.
