Back at it after a couple days off. The bodywork is pretty much done on the rear section now, with the exception of sanding out the last few spots of finishing putty. Much of today was spent stripping the paint off of the remaining areas, and dealing with the many little surface rust pits under the paint. I have been using little gold wire wheels from crappy tire in my rechargable drill, which has been working quite well. They work almost as well as the "muleskinners" I used to use back in the day, which was a small wire wheel similar to what I'm using now, but they were dipped in some kind of rubberized epoxy that held the bristles stiff. Can't seem to find them anywhere now. There is some rust under the flange that runs around the back of the opening for the convertible top, so I will have to sandblast that area before priming.
