38bill, I admire ur energy fortitude😁! I don’t have that much left @ 70😂! I’ve removed loose paint w wire wheel / drill motor & cleaned w brake cleaner & will wipe w paint thinner. Also will do at least three coats of durable engine paint. After that I’ll live w it & call it Patina😂. If I didn’t have to remove the engine for the work I had to do it wouldn’t have even gotten any new paint
