Remove Paint?

I have a 74 Highboy and it has two layers of paint on it. There is rust bubbles and alot of cracking paint. How do i remove it all? Just from the exterior and door jams.....

Isnt there lead in the paint also?

I used a combo of a knotted wire wheel in an angle grinder, a zip disc (it is a 3M type of wooly curly hair type thing) and regular old chemical stripper. I usually let the chemical have first crack, and then take off the rest with the zip disc, followed by the wire wheel for the last little bits. Slow, but effective for the driveway restorer
