I really would advise against removing it since it protects the body from RUST. If you remove it (to save weight I assume) then you will only have paint there that will chip away easily and you'll have major rust issues in a few years.
Heat and scrapping is what you will need to do the job.

Joe, hardly seems worth the effort. Are you wanting to remove all of it for weight savings, or do you just need to remove some of it for some specific purpose (like shaving the sidemarkers & antenna holes)????

You're looking to do this?
I removed 50# of factory undercoat from mine and recoated it with Herculiner. (it was 50# after subtracting the weightof the Herculiner)
I heated it with a 500 watt halogen work light then used a gasket scrapper then a knotted cup wire brush on my angle grinder. Then wipped it down with aceitone. |

Think you should focus on welding the rear fenders before you tackle removing anything from the front

True values hardware... wire wheels worked , made short work of it.
I had to go pick up my new designer glassses and my contact lens today.
Got me a set of Modo frames for my glass es there super cool.
Though I did try aircraft paint remover and my heat gun the wire wheel worked best.

Ooooh, fun fun, a malapropism and misspelling in the same sentence:
| http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/424000.html wrote: | Your name is mud
Meaning
You are unpopular.
Origin
John Wilkes Booth broke his leg while escaping after shooting Abraham Lincoln in 1865. Booth was given medical help by Dr. Samuel Mudd, who didn't then know about the assassination. Mudd was convicted of being Booth's conspirator, although some historians argue that he was innocent of any murderous intent.
Actually, whether Mudd was innocent or not is of little consequence in regard to the origin of this phrase. It was in general circulation before Lincoln was assassinated. This comes from John Badcock's (a.k.a. 'J. Bee’) Slang - A dictionary of the turf etc., 1823:
"Mud - a stupid twaddling fellow. ‘And his name is mud!’ ejaculated upon the conclusion of a silly oration, or of a leader in the Courier."
The phrase appears to be one of the many that, when a news story arises, match the gist of the story and later become associated with it. |

So for all you non English speaking Americans out there, a quick translation:
| Quote: | | Are you cock'a'hoopie? that has kept the weather out for 30 odd year, Is it really worth the aggro Joe? If you hadn't posted here first, an from looking at the photo, i would wonder if you had been on an all-dayer, come home plastered and gone playing with a wire brush in ya windy tool. I'm utterly gob smacked. Hope thats your car and not the GF's, or your names gonna be muck |
means
Are you loopy? That has kept the weather out for approximately 30 years, Is it really worth the aggravation Joe? If you hadn't posted here first, and from looking at the photo, I would wonder if you had been drinking beer all day, come home drunk, and gone out to your car playing with a wire brush in your pneumatic hand tool. I'm utterly amazed. I hope thats your car and not your girlfriend's, or your going to be called a number of names that are going to be very unpleasant.
 
To be fair ideola, your origins are correct but muck is commonly substituted for mud to give the saying more weight as although it can be used to describe mud, it more likely suggests animal excrement.
