[Mgs] Stripping paint, uggg.

[dwoerpel at wi.net]

Could be worse Rick!  5 of us restored the EAA's B-25 back in the
80's.  It had been in "Catch 22" and had 7 coats of paint
and rubberized backing insulation on the interior.  Got it done with
350 gal. of methylene chloride and 6 months of Wednesday evenings and full
Saturdays.  It's a messy job but somebody's got to do it....all part
of the fun.

Car is going to be great!
