I got the car back today from the media blasters. It is better then expected. It is hard to know what is lurking under the 50 coats of paint over 30 years. There turned out to be no suprises. I did have a problem getting the car over the hill. I was hoping to beat the weather but it started raining on my perfect metal cat as I was driving back to the shop. DOH! When I got to the shop we dried the car off and turned on the heat. Fifteen minutes later the car had a definite "rust" hue to it. I will use an abrasive to remove the surface rust and primer it with epoxy primer this weekend.
I also talked to somebody about doing a little body work for me. I will have him get started on the rocker panels and floor board next.
