Ive noticed there are a lot of fancy and quick ways to strip the body. Its a slow process for me. Paint stricer and a super sharp putty knife. Someone caved in the roof at one time so pounding out the perimeter denting to get the roof back to shape. I wish the weather was a bit less humid for this type of work.

Get a 50 pint/day dehumidifier. I run mine 24/7 all summer and my shop is comfortable until the temp gets over 75*. I put a mini split A/C in last year and run that sparingly, but it is a huge benefit to work in comfort.

I have dehumidifiers on storage and paint booth. Thought about a mini split for the paint booth but just another thing that is a want rather than a need. I was chuckling a bit about the working in the shop. They took the Methylene out of the stripers because it was causing people to pass out! Even with it now gone i do it all open air. I love this hobby but id like to be around and kicking for years to come

Some cars seem to have some surface rust which is always alot of work to get clean. I strip the paint and then get out muriatic acid. Nasty stuff to work with. Doesnt take too long for the rust pits to disappear. This roof was not too bad but still a multi day event to get cleaned and neutralized before starting the first step of body work.
