Looking to get started on next project. The car is going to have some major sheet metal repair. I will be replacing quarters, extension, trunk floor, and floor pans. Rockers and frame rails look to be solid but need some attention to clean up surface rust and remove undercoating. Since I am removing so much metal, I was thinking about sending the shell out for sand blasting the frame rails and non external sheet metal. But I have seen some magazine articles on dipping. Since the car has quite a bit surface rust, I was thinking this may be the way to go.
The question comes in is do I cut out the quarters and floor pans and use temporary supports to hold everything in place before blasting? Or have it dipped as is then cut out old sheet metal? The driver side quarter has been repaired by a someone using a spatula and bondo (see picture).
Anyway, I was starting to think about what steps to take and was looking for opinions on what others thought or may have done in the past.
