If you don't mind spending a few more bucks..you could go the acid dip way of things..might as well get all that rust in the hard to reach places.
Earth. Even the word sounded strange to me now... unfamiliar. How long had I been gone? How long had I been back? Did it matter? I tried to find the rhythm of the world where I used to live. I followed the current. I was silent, attentive, I made a conscious effort to smile, nod, stand, and perform the millions of gestures that constitute life on earth. I studied these gestures until they became reflexes again. But I was haunted by the idea that I remembered her wrong -Solaris

I have heard BAD things about Soda.  I would not use sand either, but there are less abrasive blasting medias that work well.  (shells, silica sand, etc.).  They do make a mess to clean up.  Kevin

what Bad things have you heard exactly? Soda blasting is one of the most harmful ways to strip a car.

Soda blasting IS a safe way to strip.  I agree.  It just requires extensive washing of a bare metal shell to remove every last bit of it or paint adhesion is a problem.   What I have seen didn't show up until it was too late.  Not immediately.  Just seems like a extra hassle and chance to have a problem.  Just my opinion.
