[StartQuote] Good stuff! Another PT on its way back from the grave. While at the USAF museum restoration hangar a few months ago I was watching a guy working on the Memphis Belle. It looked like he was stripping paint with a sand blaster. It turned out that he was working with his new toy. It used dry ice and compressed air to remove the paint. He explained that this worked better than any other technology he has tried and the metal bore no signs of even being mared from the paint removal. It looked brand new. It simply removed the paint. This was key since the original Belle had no interior paint in the fuselage. He said he didn't even need a respirator (which I haven't fully bought off on). Looks like you could use on of those on this project! That's my restoration tip of the day. Good luck! Dave David Waples[EndQuote]
