do not attempt sand basting large flat areas of body metal unless you have 
the correct media and lots of practice on junk parts!  you will warp and 
destroy them for sure . if you must do it yourself  i found a long time ago 
spray cans of gasket remover work just as good as if not better and figuring 
everything it doesnt cost much more if any.  sometimes you can find it at 
dollar stores.  i bought a can to try and it worked so good i cut a deal 
on a case and it did the whole car plus.  this was a lakewood long time 
ago.  i have air and electric orbital sanders and bought a box of 220 
grit disks on a roll to finish some areas.  it aint easy but it is labor you 
can save on if you go carefully. i had a vette frame dipped once, came out 
real nice but you have to paint it right away and get that paint EVERYwhere!&
