This is just the kind of discussion I was wanting! Thankx.
Ok..............1st off I tried to post a picture but didn't get far. said file too big?? (one pic too big)?? I'll have to figure that out. My line of thinking was that I might invest in a sand blaster (Eastwood $200 to $500) if that was the way to go figuring I'll be using it a lot in the future. I know you have to be careful with warping but thought perhaps the floor was OK to blast. I'm good with wire brush on drill or whatever method is recomemded.
Yes, the wheel houses and a lot of the floor are in pretty good shape other than surface rust. I just didn't know what the "obvious method" was.
From what I'm hearing I think I'll scrape / brush and see how it goes. I have the body on a rotisary and, while I can roll it outside I can't very well transport it to some place to hire it blasted.
Thank you very much for the help so far.
