Hey folks, so I've finally decided to get the paint done on my '70 coupe.
The rust has finally hit a point where I can't let it get any further. there's (dvd-case?) sized patches of rust in the lower doors and lower trunk and the floors are rotted out pretty badly. Structurally she seems okay though.
I'm planning to strip the car down to the point where it's just barely legal on the street in the daytime in good weather. the rest will be up to the shop to disassemble and paint. I want to do as thorough a job as possible, however I don't know what the best course of action is... as I've never seen a full-refurb paintjob done on these cars before.
Can some of you offer some info that...maybe you wish someone had told you when you did the paint on your cars?
