Default pros & cons of paint stripper

Hi, I have a 1980 vet that I am restoring, has anyone had any problems using paint stripper instead of sanding?

Hey Gary,
I did a rear quarter panel with the stripper some time ago. It was tedious, messy, and I still did some light sanding on it. When i did my complete restoration last year, I opted for the media blast method. Much quicker and the results were great. My recommendation would be to do the media blast unless you are only doing a small portion of the body.
