I'm not looking for compliments here. Just honest advice. I have read about bodywork here and there. Now I'm putting my skills to the test.
Please tell me if I seem to have things right or wrong. Obviously, the result is yet to come and will be the true test.

More photos in the bodywork section of my website.

Photos tell the story best.
I use a 7" disc sander for 1st stage paint removal being careful not to damage body lines or remove metal.
Next I used a 3M Sandblaster coarse paint removal disc on my 4.5" grinder. Again being careful about the metal.
Final hand sanding and then metal preservative - Picklex. That stuff keeps it from flash rust and can be removed with water later.
Plans are to do some finishing dolly work, filler, final sand and then epoxy primer.
