Body Work Prep Continued

I thought the quarters, doors and fenders would be the biggest challenge for the body work, but the surface rust on the roof is worse than I thought.  I will use a combination of grinders, sanders, wire wheels and a sand blaster on it.  Once I get the rust removed, I will treat it with vinegar water and Rust Kon.  Then I can prime it.  I think the car had a vinyl top on it and those can cause a lot of rust. Every panel, except the roof, has dents in it.  There was sooooooo much bondo and primer and paint on this car..........at least 3-4 paint jobs.

After the Aircraft Stripper, I tried using 40 grit with a 6 inch D/A sander.  That worked ok, but was gonna take a lot of time.  I next switched to the Roloc 36 grit grinder, it worked a little better but was gonna be expensive (too many discs).  I went to Home Depot and got a 7 inch pad and put it on my buffer.  I attached a 50 grit abrasive disc and that worked much better........more aggressive and a wider path of destruction!   I have the sandblaster waiting if I need it.
