I have one of those contraptions with a rubber eraser-like wheel on it for removing decals. It works great! I think you'll like it. Having the little "fender" on it will be nice when you are stripping undercoating.

So this tool is great! My issue now is not having a big enough compressor to keep up with it. With enough air I could have all the undercoating stripped in a easy day. The rate I’m going now, it’ll be a few days, hopefully not burning up my compressor in the process.
The after shot is first thanks to Mud’s random picture posting feature. This was after two short trips down to 50psi.

The wire wheels I’ve used don’t work on undercoating, at least on the gooey stuff.
And that’s the sh*t that will fly off and imbed in your body pretty much everywhere.

Try a propane torch and a putty knife, works good.....
A lot of mine are missing as well, but I figure it's good to have places to stick a hose in to flush out the sand, mud, etc. The plugs are different sizes, if I remember correct.

Was able to get a decent day in catching up on Cruiser work.
Finished welding up the driver side rocker cap. Primered the cavities with some SEM Zinc weld-through primer.

Removed the leftover tailgate mounting bolts on the tailgate I’m planning to use and one that was still left in the tub. Welded nuts to the exposed portion of shank and ran out with my cordless. No idea why those Phillips head bolts have to be 6x longer than necessary 
Keep at it. You're expected to drive it to the next Pig Party in 2020!

Tore into the passenger side floorboard. Removed it and the tub mount together.
Found some rust waiting in the bottom of the lower portion of the A-Pillar where I’d done a RUSH-job patch years ago. Cut the patch out and cleaned out most of the scale and debris. Need to come up with a way to clean that area out somehow that doesn’t involve the debris going into the new caps or tub mounts. Amazing how much dirt collected in there. May just have to throw a cup of engine oil in there after every oil change.

Have I mentioned that I love having this rotisserie? Yeah, I love it. So sweet to be able to rotate it back and forth to where I want it.
Oh, and then at some point, a long lost 12mm Matco socket fell out of that A-Pillar cavity. Score
I will also say that I love Pig Parties! I’m sure my neighbors were wishing I hadn’t come back
