Bodywork & Painting question 71 dart

You want to keep the vehicle out of the weather while doing body work. Hot spots of rust can happen in one day leaving bare metal exposed due to humidity and oils from your hands. Once the mil thickness gets too large you want to strip to bare steel. If you are having someone do the work for you it is sometimes best to remove as much trim and such as possible. This way the bodyman doesn't need to charge you for all the R&I of these items.

yeah most of the interior is out, glass needs to come out and w/e gunk is on there cleaned off. Thing is, its 100% humidity here nearly every day. along with salt air since im very very close to the ocean here. Only thing i can think of is to find one of those enclosed carport things for it to be worked on in. They who is doing the body is coming to my home to do it all. hes also capable of doing the paint as well (i haven't decided whether or not to have him paint it even though im leaning that way)

the only other place nearby that does quality bodywork charges an arm and a leg, by the time i was done with them i could prolly just go buy a turnkey.
