I'm glad at least you think it's funny, I usually can't get more than a sentence or two out. Not gonna keep trying anymore or posting multiples, screen prints work for now. P.I.T.A.!!

I would never have thought of doing that, I'll be doing it too when it doesn't work. Back to the op, isn't there a media that's called silicate or something? It can blast off rust, but isn't as easy to warp the metal with. I would recomend it, but I can't think of the name [&:]

I'm still considering soda or walnut, i'd rather pay 900 and not worry about warping then spend 500 to get it blasted and 1000 on bodywork to fix it. The car has a lot of bondo but its only covering metal is soda/walnut strong enough to get rid of bondo?

I had mine soda blasted and it was great. Cost me $750 to have it done. And no I dont think the walnut blasting would be strong enough to take off the bondo. Atleast all the wonderful bondo was still on mine after it was soda blasted.....lol

No matter what you choose to strip the car remember one thing.....a paint job is only as good as the prep work. No matter the media you should block and sand several times to get all the waves out.
