I`ve got two fc`s and the utes looking sad whats the best method to remove rust and remaining paint should o go for sandblasting /beadblasting or  good`ol elbow grease and hand sand the lot and wheres a good place for the blasting

Ed Ho

Im in the process of doing the same still!! originally I removed all the paint using various methods etc, and put the whole car in a sealant type rust retardant primer until id finished welding in all the rusty bits. Now ive blasted the entire shell back to bare again.  u cant go past sandblasting for rust removal...this is also the make or break moment!!, either way tears of joy or tears of sadness.
 The most enjoyable bit is trying to get all the sand out of your panels, Most of it runs out the gaping holes anyway.
 Good luck...

thanks ed i hope theres not to may holes when i get the cars done
