Unless your getting it blasted, I don't think there is any easy way to do it. I jacked the car as high as I could, used tall jack stands, and using a creeper, went under will the wire wheel or should I say about ten wire wheels, and stripped it that way. It was a little messy but the wire wheel made quick work of the grease, grime, and undercoating, and brought it down to bare shiney metal. Check out the last few pages of my website to see how I did it. Good luck Bud!! Billy.

in addition to useing wire wheels,i found the small handheld propane torch with a 1"? diameter scraper works wonders.heat up a small area and it comes right off,then contiue to another area.it takes time,put the radio on and go at it.have fun.

A propane torch and putty knife is what I used for the most of my underbody, but also used up quite a few wire wheels for the hard to reach spots.....especially where I didn't want the torch to come close to the body paint.
