    chemical strip

    Masonater,
    This might be more than what you want to do, but consider sending the chassis to a place like American Metal Cleaning (www.americanmetalcleaning.com). You'll have to strip it down to just the chassis, but their process will remove all paint, rust and other coatings both inside and out leaving you with clean, bare metal ready for galvanizing, powder coating or painting. This is what we did with our bulkhead, core support, T posts and side steps for our 109. Well worth it, IMHO.

      Update:

      While using my air chisel for another project I thought to my self..hmm this may take care of the undercoating. Walked over to the rover and tried it out on a section where it was on thick. WOW it shot off no problem! and left me with shiny black original frame paint. I spent about 10 minutes going around chiseling it off and I am amazed how well it works. I just wish i had thought of this sooner before i took all the hubs and brakes off, now i cant roll it outside anymore to sandblast again. Im going to try and think of something to dolly the chassis outside now. Man do I love air tools...
