Found some time to strip the paint off the dash today.

Noice! I've started doing the same thing on mine.
Quick question- how have you been able to take off the white without taking off the blue? The purple scotch Brite pad and paint thinner combo went pretty quickly through to the red primer and then the metal in one place I tried.

I’ve been using acetone and/or lacquer thinner. Every once in awhile it will go all the way through but I think those were weak spots from a previous job.
 
Starting the head gasket soon. Started spraying the fender bolts and everything else I could think of to facilitate removal.
I’m not looking forward to it. I don’t think it’s that hard, I just haven’t worked on anything in quite awhile besides cosmetic stuff.

Why aren’t you sure if it’s a head or a motor?
 
Hopefully the last two gallons of acetone I have to buy for this project. I have the hood and cowl left to do. I have a better condition blue windshield frame waiting.
Still waiting on the head to be finished.

Head gasket for that F is NLA. What did you find for a replacement?
