I found some paint stripper from work that will easily remove paint so I tried it tonight and all six cans clogged up!  Not my evening so I quit for the night.  However, one can worked for a while and I was able to remove some paint.  It’s a start.

The only damage to the fuselage that I can find is a crease in one of the support tubes.  It has not cracked through so it will be an easy fix.

I can use FAA AC43.13-1B to make a repair by using the welded patch repair process.

After unwrapping the old fabric I found the fuselage N numbers.   They are extremely brittle but I think they can be saved.  I’ve cleaned them up and hung them to see if the wrinkles will come out.
