What's your secret behind the paint removal? Great job!

Lacquer thinner and patients. Thanks for asking. JimRoy

How can you live with yourself destroying all that factory original rust?

I can't take credit for bringing the original paint back on this one, ( the two previous owners had a hand in that.) but I just thought the transformation here was pretty amazing.
