The best way to strip paint and rust is with soda blasting. I have a friend who did it with a simple high pressure washer. The result was perfect and this method has the advantage to be environmental friendly so you could do it in your driveway. The only inconvenient is that you have to strip the whole car and prime it as soon as it is dries to prevent the rust to come back
You can also use non toxic chemical strippers. They are not as dangerous as they used to be but you still have to be carrefull to avoid any contact with your skin and it doesn't remove rust very good.
If you are not planing to sand or soda blast the car, you can use POR-15 products to neutralize the rust.

I was thinking about soda blasting the car but the guy wants to charge me 125 an hour, and that is not something that I want to do  since it is so muh. I ma going to check out a sand blast machince tommorrow and I hope to get it and it get gone. thanks for the help,Help. STANG OUT

$125 an hour for that? I am sure you can find someone to do it for cheaper. If you can rent a sandblast machine and have the space and the car ready for that, it will be a very easy task. The worse part is the preparation of the body and have it primed in time.
