Do you have a dustless blaster guy in your area? I would wet blast it and save lots of time for other work. It will cost a little but if you make more than 50 cents an hour it’s worth it.
Well, I'm in "early, forced retirement" you might say, after being injured on the job, so I have to make good choices with the money I have. Yes, I see the irony: "good financial choices" and "working on a 50 year old car." :)
