Thanks, Zak.

Yep, sound's like I've got some work to do!

As I was already prepared to overhaul the engine, I guess the first step

would be to pull the dang thing out.

My wife isn't going to like not having a garage for her Lincoln but oh well

I'll let you guys know how bad it is once I start sanding.

Thanks again.

Aaron, I did my complete job in my 2 car garage and my Wife's car was always able to be in the garage at night. Especially a good thing in Winter. I went to Harbor Fright and bought a set of dollies . with all four wheels on them I just pulled the car to the center of the garage to work on and pushed her back by the work bench after clean up . With these I could also rotate the Z end for end for better lighting on the area I was working on. Makes clean up easier also. With the engine out it is vary easy to roll the Z around, a little harder once the engine and tranny is installed but still a can do with no problem.

Thanks so much for all the tips! This site ROCKS!

Well, I guess first step is prepping the garage for the mess the aircraft

stripper is going to make...

I'll post some pics so everyone can see

Just be careful and do not get that stuff in your eyes. It burns like hell even when you get overspray on your skin. I love the drop cloth method b/c there really isn't any cleanup. Good luck on your project!!

Regarding the aircraft paint stripper. Get some "good" chemical resistant gloves. I used it to strip a car to bare metal. I started with "industrial" thickness vinyl gloves and after 30 minutes could feel it burning my skin. That problem was solved when I ordered a pair of the proper gloves from McMaster-Carr.

I just suck it up and pay careful attention to wind direction. The first time I got a cross wind and got blasted in the face by a miniscule amount of the overspray was the last
