I would do the rust repairs and then strip the paint. That way if your slow like me, you aren't leaving metal exposed while doing the rust repair.
Oh, welcome to the board!

Welcome from Ky., Wally. I'm in the same boat as you; I plan on doing body and paint work this spring. You in the AF? My bro was stationed in Sumter in the mid 90s. Maybe I'll check you out on my way to Myrtle this summer. I'm hoping to have my 72 ready to take to the beach in June or July.

Your rig looks like a real beast! What size are your tires/lift?
