Wire wheels, DA sander, grinder, dremel, hand wire brushes, brake cleaner, engine degreaser, carb cleaner, lots of rags, small hand held sand blaster, putty knife... and tons of elbow grease.
Then 2 coats of Chassis saver paint, 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of paint and 2 coats of clear.

If you're willing, determined and a little insane... the underside of your car can go from THIS:
