If you have that much paint on there, I'd probably take it down with abrasives... save yourself a ton of work!
EDIT: There's a media blaster in Millford CT that does fantastic work, I think this is the place:

A friend of mine owns a body shop. I know he has had a couple of vettes sent out (to them) and has not had an issue. With that said, he primes and blocks everything afterwards to make sure they are wave-free.
Heat is the enemy, so media selection and proper technique is critical.
I can't image removing 33' of ten layers of paint with chemicals... I would think that would take forever. I'd even break out the 36 grit before I tried that!
