I feel your pain. There's a lot of metal on these old panels, but in the end the pain is worth it.

will be same color red on the bottom , so I don't have to do inside or door jams , top , following the roof lines down the sides and around doors will be something lighter [ silver , gray , white , not sure yet still thinking about it ] . I got a price of $1300 to have it soda blasted , would have been a lot less work , but sand paper is cheaper .

Great to see your progress Dave. Yes, they are very proud of their blasting abilities (read that $$$$). Not sure what I'll do on mine yet.
