Hello Ray,


I've had some good luck removing undercoating with a Harbor Freight brand needle scaler.  I did all of the undercoated surfaces on my '66 with mine with great results.  You just need to be careful around thinner gauge metal, because it has a tendency to cause minor peen marks.    


Here's a link to what I'm talking about
