Thanks for the tips, dudes. For even the cheapest prices I've heard, I'll just do it myself. I picked up some paint stripper from Wal-Mart, so after my Engine Pulling Extravanganza next week (I hope) I'll try this stuff on it. Worst case I'll dry ice the tar and use this stripper on the paint. Anything left I should be able to get with my POS sandblaster.

The project will surely be badass, and I'll throw a thread up here or in the 1G section when it gets far enough along to be interesting.
