Default Stripping paint

Hello everyone I've been stripping the paint off of my 68 using chemical strippers. I'm getting tired of it and want the car stripped so I can move on to body work. I'm worried about getting it blasted with sand because I don't want any warpng, I also want to avoid chemical dipping, what would be my best option?

soda blast is good, walnut shell is better. I would say more, but this place won't let me.

You might ask them for their opinion on what is best to use. The price sounds decent

I've heard sand is hard on sheet metal, but if the blaster says it's ok, then he's the one to trust. There's a lot of differant kinds of media out there

second place I called we talked for 10 minutes about my plans for the car he suggested sand, because it will take off bondo and rust, and he's close.
