In restoring my tr-3 I had the inner body sand blasted and with a warning
about warping the blasters did a good job. For the other removable body
panels I used an angle grinder with big twisted steel brushes. I also used
the woven fiberglass like pads 4 1/2 inch, scotch brand. I found those to be
amazing in how they tear through paint down to shiny steel. They are rather
expensive tho but so is sandblasting. Eventually I moved to using the steel
brushes, which left sort of a film, then finished off with the pads which made
them last a little longer. For the corners I could not get too I did by hand
but could have had a sand blaster do those as warping would not be a problem
there.
This went faster than expected and I was happy with the results.
Doing it myself made made me feel better than farming it out and worrying
about results.
just a suggestion
