                        Thanks, again, Mike. I'm about to leave for Wal-Mart now to pick up some "Super Clean." I'll let you know how it works out.

                        I agree with Gerald although it is no longer called, "Castrol Super Clean" it is just "Super Clean" in the purple bottle. WalMart has it for a good price.

                        If you can't find it then get some Easy-Off oven cleaner in the yellow can. 

                        It's the same chemical (Sodium Hydroxide....aka Lye).

                        Thanks so much. I'll pick up some tomorrow and get started.

                        Strip it with Castrol Super Clean...soak it in a tub filled with the stuff. Westley's Bleach Wite works too.

                        I have inherited a kit that was started by a friend and then abandoned. It is a '58 Chevy and the interior has already been brush painted. Is there any feasible way to remove the existing paint so it can be redone, or should I just chalk it up as a loss?
