The body of my [1943 Farmall M](..) had much rust, dirt, and multiple paint
layers.  Stripping this by sandblasting would be a very slow and messy process.

I picked up a cheap small needle scaler (perhaps $30 IIRC) from Harbor Freight recently.

Here's how it has worked on the body:

Thankfully I have good help to clean up afterwards.
