Detom,
If the car has rust the worst thing you can dio is acid dip it. Now a days soda blasting or blasting with walnut shells. The acid dipping removes everything and makes any areas paper thin. So its all about the aproach. My car has rust and it had more rust ... some one fixed most of it. I'm scared to acid dip, strip or glass bead. Any body work that was done has lasted and not coming up.
I mounted mine tonight on a rotisere I made. So my plans thru assesment is to clean the car and fix and rust. Cut and fab any small patchs repaint the underside, reinstall all the supension cleaned and painted. Rebuilt motor ... I see the Pantera as it would be only worth 100% stirp down if these were 100k plus cars.
