Tonight was rough.  I rocked it solo, tackling the undercoating again.  I started out the evening by using a chip brush to spread some aircraft stripper on the offending undercoat.  While I waited for that to do its magic, I cut some sweet chunks of metal with my bandsaw.  The triangle pieces will be some bracing for my crossmember brackets.

After that was done, I started scraping.  And scraping.  And scraping.  I’ve found in my trial and error with undercoat removal that stripper->scraping->then knotted wire wheel is the best work flow for removing the undercoat and controlling the mess somewhat.

I didn’t get to the knotted wire wheel yet, that comes next time!
