<x-charset iso-8859-1>First things first.  Get a piece of wood and
some elbow grease and get the heavy stuff off
by hand.  Sometimes the heavy stuff comes off
easier than the light coat, THEN try whatever
chemical concoction you have available.
You can shape and sharpen wood to your hearts
content and not damage the shroud nor remove
any paint that is still attached to the metal.
Paint stir sticks and popsicle sticks make
a great start.  If you don't care about the
paint, use a metal putty knife.  It's amazing
how much can be removed with a bit of effort.

Hey,
    I bought a used fan shroud a while back, and not that ive taken it a
part
to clean it, it has a thick layer of what can only be described as "gunk"
and
i tried scrubbing it out with a cleaner, but it didnt work too well.. What
should i use to clean it out?  i want to get it as clean as possible so i
can
paint it..  (and put it on the new engine)  Thanks everyone...
