      The tree stump you hit......is it that small one next to the car?

                            Dont know whether this is of any use to you Mike, but I've got a shot blaster coming in to do my van in a couple of weeks. He blasted it about 4yrs ago and I primed the shell but never got around to getting the resto work started on it. I've got the shell booked in somewhere now so I'm getting the van blown over again. Might be easier for you than stripping it with chemicals & hard graft
