Shelby experiment

[Nomadman1956]

I picked up a Shelby supreme the other day with so many layers of brush paint I wasn’t even sure where to begin. I decided to see if I could get down to the original paint. When I finally got there there wasn’t much left but it was a interesting experience to say the least.

What did you use to remove the layers of paint ?

What did you use to remove the layers of paint ?

I'd say wd40 & or Jasco paint thinner/stripper based on the pics

Laquer thinner, steel wool, and a scuff pad
Then Linseed oil

Nice; Classic. Be sure to add the serial number info to the ~1923 to ~1953 Shelby serial numbers threads.
