Stripping Car of Old Paint and Bondo

I began taking off the old coats of paint, bondo, sealer, primer, etc using Aircraft Paint Stripper.  I apply it with a brush and then let it bubble for 15mins, then remove it with a large scraper.  You can see the large dent in the passenger side 1/4 panel that was full of bondo.  Also in the top picture, the original color/paint of the car back in 1974.  It was G2, Frosty Green Metallic.  There are way too many layers of old paint on this car.  I underestimated the layers and # of times it had been painted.  It also has had a new 1/4 panel put on it.  Kind of a patch panel.  One other thing:  this car is HUGE.  The panels go forever.  Big quarters, big doors, fenders, huge trunk.  A lot of work.
