p.s. - how'd the plastic bags work for ya? make things go faster?

The plastic bags helped alot. Only problem is that the PO (or his body man) bondoded the dents in it and I guess that the stripper takes longer on those spots. Had to scrape and put multiple coats on those spots. I dont have it totaly clean and when I get the nerve again I will try the steel wool. But after seeing the dents I decided to just buy a new grill when I start on the rebuild.
