Well thanks to a lot of inspiration from you guys I've made a little progress on stripping down my car to get it ready for paint and rust repair.

I used one of those blue Norton rapid strip discs to remove a lot of the paint from the back of my car to reveal the work i need to fix.

Like the round tail light sheet metal:

And after removing tons of bondo on the rear passenger quarter panel I found a major crease and dents from a "repair".

Tonight thanks to your all's help I got the hood off. Now I'm ready to get the front end removal process going

Don't try this at home!
