Pinging rust with a blow torch
Has anyone used this technique? I had a friend in HS that stripped a 911 down to nothing and used a blowtorch to "pop" all the surface rust off of the car. He told me that rust just pops off like pop corn if you get it hot enough. I just had to ask because I think about it all the time whenever I've seen surface rust on a car.

Not an expert...but to a metalurgical point of view...it surely modify the internal structure of the metal and it's further resistance to rust...!

Wouldn't it warp the panels?

he never had a warped panel. I just thought it was an unusual way of de-rusting a car. Of course he had to go back and spot fill the areas because of the pock marks in the metal, but most places were underneath in behind fenders and such.
