Re: A plan to make my '70 pretty(er)

The white paint is flaky. Once you get that off you can evaluate the green, it seems to be holding up better to the scraps. probably won’t take too much longer to take it to bare metal if your using 60- 80 grit, especially on the flat panels. For door jams, drip rail, and fire wall I like to sand blast. You can get a 20-25 gallon blaster pretty cheap at harbor freight. Play sand from HD works well as a media if you strain the pebbles out. Keep the blaster away from larger flat panels like your hood because they can warp metal. If it’s thicker sheet metal like a cab floor support or has Intricate bends like door jams you can blast it, saves a lot of time rather than trying to sand in hard to reach areas.
