I would remove the rocker trim, glass, crest on the hood and wiper arms studs (remove the nuts and rubber gaskets). Also it would be better to remove hindge pins/doors. Still a ways to go, IMO. Sunroof area needs attention, remove gasket, I could go on. Doing the car in pieces would do a better job.

I did remove the washer arm studs, or at least anything making contact with paint.

Anyway, I'm having the car repainted at DJ's Auto Body.
He's going to take off the remaining stuff.
I just took off as much as I could to save some $$$.

The glass is easy to remove, just push from the inside-out. Apply equal pressure and have someone on the outside pulling, gently. One less thing the bodyshop can charge you for. I look forward to see your progress!!!
