Yes!

I finally started tearing the front end off of my truck tonight. I'm so excited to finally do something productive with my truck for once. Just thought I would share the joy with you guys!

It just got dark and there's no power in the shop right now so I'm screwed.

What do I need to know about removing paint from body panels? I'm going to remove all paint/rust and then primer everything for now.

Thanks Guys

That depends on how much money you want to spend. The more money you spend makes a cleaner job at a faster pace. Chemical strip professional, media blasting professional, chemical strip home, media blasting home, sand paper, and I am sure there are others methods.

sand paper, I might as well stretch this out as it's going to be a while before I can afford to do anything else.

I'm guessing that a grinder with sand paper discs would be the quickest affordable route. Are there any type of paper discs that don't clog up as fast?
