Greetings,

        Thanks to all who have submitted suggestions for the removal of the 
paint from the engravings of my panel.

Top suggestions....

1)    Use of dental tools....using some old ones now.  (I have a friend that 
is a dentist)

2)    More powerful stripper....(Tim the Tool Man would be proud!)

3)    Brake Fluid and sharp instruments....That's a thought....Paint 
adhesion a problem afterwards?

4)    Bead blasting.....am experimenting with that, but it has its own 
problems.  Erosion and panel warpage.

Thanks to all who responded....Looks like I was on the right track....just 
wondered if there was an easier way I had not thought of....

My dental tools are not very sharp....fairly blount.  May try to pick up 
some newer ones.  Looks like a few hours at the bench with the visor 
on...some decent light and a sharp dental tool will be the ticket...after 
softening it up a bit more with some better chemistry!

Thanks Guys...

Cecil...
