removing bondo body filler?

[Corvette.Jeff]

one of my friends gave me a 69' camaro body that had some body work done to it, i was going to use it foe my build that i have going right now, but its got alot of filler on it. any idea for removing it, besides sanding? its also got this nasty nasty yellow green paint on it, can i put her in the purple pond? would that get rid of the filler?

thanks,Jeff

Yes, Super Clean should take care of the filler as well as the paint. If it doesn't try brake fluid.

I learned the hard way that brake fluid removes bondo.

I didn't think you could remove bondo once it's hardened!

Me too - YES brake fluid works.

Even though it has hardened the CSC or Brake Fluid will either loosen the bond between the 2 surfaces or dissolve it and it will wash off with a firm toothbrush, soap and water. Even if it does nothing more then loosen the bond you can break the rest loose with an xacto knife.

I'm sure it makes a difference if it's one-part Bondo (spot putty) or two-part Bondo. The spot putty is dissolved easily by all the usual model car paint removers. If you don't know what you've got just try Super Clean and see if it works. I don't know if the two-part is harder to remove.
