Did you try scuffing the paint first with 80 grit? The scratches let the stripper penetrate much quicker abd deeper.

A shaker with the Sprint stripes?
Think a rear spoiler would really set it off.
How bout Verdero green with black stripes

The original color is very similar to the pepper green on my 70.

No but thanks for the advice! Rob gave me some cheaper less concentrated stripper to use up first, so he is thinking its the stripper, but he just bought some more paper, so I can give your idea a try! Probably not until end of July, as I am pretty busy until then

Try "alittle" heat.
Whenever burning bondo out with a propane torch, the paint nicely bubbles up near by.
Learned the bondo trick years ago from an old school body man.

No, most of them could be considers "its" Go to the middle of the afternoon shows and you'd be hard pressed to tell if they are real or just man boobs. Imagine Bud dancing around with his shirt off.

Thanks to 74gto for bringing the missing marker light to Norwalk for me! One fender ready to be completed now! But with soccer season starting, going to have to wait until Sunday.
