Easy Off oven cleaner...? now that' a different solution...
Reminds me of a tip I picked up in the carpentry trade...saw blades and
router bits get gummed up with a baked-on 'varnish' and the solution for
that was to use 'Mr.Muscle' oven cleaner ... the reason being was that it
was the only oven cleaner that worked WITHOUT heat. I wonder if that might
even work better on the car...

Hi,
This has been the standard procedure if the car is stripped. Mine is on a
rotisserie and it was heat, scrape, wire brush, heat, scrape, wire brush you
get the idea. I spoke with a knowledgeable restorer and he had done the
same until an old hot rod guy gave him this tip.
Use easy off oven cleaner let it set for awhile and scrape it off down to
them metal no problem. It works but you need to neutralize the acid. Use 1
tbs baking soda and 1 tbs vinegar in a 1/2 gallon of water. Wipe it down
clean as whistle. I sent pictures to Mark of my progress. It really does
work and reduces the labor 10 fold.

Mark- Did you have a Sunbeam at 14 too??
Mark- an ox/aceteylen torch might make to much heat unles you have lots of
experience and too, fire is something you might encounter but from what you
said, I would try heat and a strong putty knife- the 2.5 to 3" type. Maybe a
bottle torch like used to solder copper tubing might be hot enough. Again, I
imangine the material will catch fire, so be careful and have something
handy
in case and also I would wear proper breathing respirator. Often the fumes
from materials like those mentioned put off several types of gas when
burned.
Let us know what works as you are likely to receive many ideas.
