Get it media blasted. You can go to Blast Away Technologies at 606 e. Irving Park Rd in Bensenville or Imperial Blasting at 160 e 168th in South Holland. I've used both, I like Imperial Blasting better because they mix a mineral in with the media which helps remove minor rust and also leaves a nice ready surface so you can spray primer right away, just be careful to inspect the whole car over with someone from the facility before and after blasting because they ruined the roof and trunk of my Chevelle. The had to have used too much pressure and it warped the metal pretty bad. The same happened to my friends Mustang and both times we were told that those areas where loaded with bondo which was untrue because both cars had original paint. Turn around time is also rather quick with Imperial. Hope this helped you. If your looking for a good bodyman/painter pm me, I can help.

Mike
