It takes longer to remove the crud than to remove rust since the crud absorbs a lot of the impact energy of the grit but it's a lot easier on my old elbows and hands than scraping it off. On the other hand, it's a lot harder on the paint and anything else you may not want to remove!

So take that baby out back on a BIG plastic sheet, jack 'er up on BIG stands, and have at it with a BIG grit blaster! Nothing like a little wanton destruction with MORE POWER to do your soul some good.

Oh yeah, put your beer back in the shop before you start unless you like crunchy stuff at the bottom of the can.
