Is this stripper widely available? Or is it just something for those with connections? Looks like it does a fantastic job.

Widely. Most body shop supply houses have it. I'll get a name tomorrow.
This weekend will be another marathon of metal work. Hope to have something in primer by Sunday. Stay tuned.

Thanks, much appreciated. (and well be much more appreciated if I need to put some to use down the road)
Damn...

Long day yesterday.
This was the only picture I took yesterday of what I did. Though I did get the rear sill painted and almost complete.

2 days. Air tools were a must.
So today I got most of the sill installed. I used some scrap square 2" tube. I cut a section of it out and rotated it to invert it for the channel and welded back in. Then cut a few sway bar link bushings down and drilled a couple holes in the bottom of the tube and a big 2" hole in the back so I had access to the mount. Also coated the inside and outside with Rust bullets. Plan on getting a couple 2" frame plugs to cover the holes and seal it from water and mud. I'll also be capping the ends.
I tacked it in and then realized there was going to be a gap between the sill and the bed. So I put a section of agle iron under it to tie it and the sill in place.
Then welded all of it together in several spots. I'm going to spay the area again with rust bullets.
I had a friend come over today (John Lee) and help. I mentioned that I was going to make these great fenders only to have them ruined the first time I articulated the rears as the tires rub on the outer fender under extremem articulation. He suggested I tube the fenders. So that's what I'm going to do. lol. Will give me a fender flare in the process and give the ture something nice and smooth to rub on.
Anyone need a nice extended fender? lol
My buddy.
Some parts John blasted for me today.

wow, impressive progress here! keep it up!
planning on doing a rust killer paint job on my 60 soon, and that paint stripper looks like my new best friend! I'va got no garage, and zero friends to help me out, so i gotta get some of that grease... do you know of anything similar in international products? wuerth, 3M or something?
And i am a bit jelaus...the 60's got a LOT more area to work with, the 40's has probably only half the surface compared to a 60.
It's just goin to take som time!

Looking good! I'm impressed by the speed you're making progress. Are you a woodworker too? I see the dust collection stuff- I've been wanting one of those Jet dust filters like you've got for my very modest woodworking shop.

I traded wood for metal. Though I just put most of my woodworking stuff at the warehouse.

Got a little more done this weekend. Mainly spent the weekend with the family and drinking some Fat Tire that has finally made it. (Sweet nectar)
Does this position look familiar? lol.
This was a cruiser friend who was helping me out. John spent probably 4 hrs leaning over trying to see the parts. About 3hrs into it he told me it wasn't working well. Looked at the gun and the nozzle had not one but two holes in it where it wore through. I had just replaced it not long ago. It even ate through the gun. A new tip and inner tip and a little electrical tape and it was new again.
Moisture was a problem that day. Ended up filling the water separator up 3 times. I need to get a bigger one and make some drops in my main line.
Today I decided if it had a rust hole it was getting cut out. So first to go was the rear wheel well braces.
Stupid bench seat braces. They just trap the water.
Drilled the spot welds out and used the impact chisel on it. Came right off.
Had I actually gotten in a situation where I would have rolled It wouldn't have been pretty. My braces were toast the roll bar would have just gone through to the floor.
I bent some 2" pipe and cut it flat so it will weld up to some 16ga sheet metal. This will not be the support for the roll bar anymore I'll bring some tube up from the frame and through the middle of this.
Cut some metal out and put some 16ga back in. I've yet to decide how I will make the rib but it will eventually be there real or not.
Also decide to finish up removing all the paint on the last parts.
About this time people started showing up for a cruiser meeting so I stopped taking pics. I post more this week.
