Wow, Message #1 at Stovebolt! Boy, you'll never do that again......
Welcome to the site.
If you decide on a chemical stripper you can do yourself, take a look at the "Removall" section at Zerorust.com. It is a water borne stripper that soaks through coatings, off gases O2 and lifts the film. Real easy to use and a whole lot safer to be around than the methylene chloride in Aircraft stripper.
Have you located a soda blaster in your area? Go look at his/her work. From what I hear it is not as potentially damaging to sheet metal as some other blasting media. Maybe Mrs. Fender's little boy Fat will jump in here with his input on how it did on his truck.
