Thanks, guys!
By November, 2005 there was so much surface rust on the floor, tubs, patched areas and etc. I decided to have the body dipped. I've had a couple done that way and never regretted it, although rust is usually the deciding factor. Some folks swear the caustic solution stays in the pinch welds and will ruin a paint job. Never had that happen, but the place I used in Houston lets the metal sit in a neutralizing solution after rust removal and then power washes it and wipes it down good with a product like GEM Rust Killer.
Once it was back home, the next step was smoothing out the firewall, etc. The body had been on the chassis since returning from the metal stripper, but I needed better access, so I loaded it back on the spinner. These Fords had a nasty pinch weld that ran the length of the f/w as well as several openings that didn't fit in my plan. Welded in patches and started slinging bondo.
