Beware of using blasting grit. This can collect in the sills/rockers panels and elsewhere. When this gets wet (condensation etc) it turns to a sort of mud that holds the moisture against the metal. I've used this successfully on an old 1940s Hillman, but I wouldn't use it on a Pantera shell unless I was going to do a lot of cutting and welding afterwards.
