That's what I'm thinking. The insides of the rear quarter panels are covered with surface rust. I was twisting myself like a pretzel, even with the car on a rotisserie, with a propane canister and a scraper to get the undercoat off. I wondered how I would ever get the rust off effectively. Then I studied the deep recesses under there, put down the propane canister, and went and had a beer.

If I surround the car with large swaths of visqueen to control the spread of blasting debris, cleanup should be a breeze. Prep will take a while, but that'll be nothing compared to doing the whole job myself with hand tools.
