Hi, I am taking on a project, or should I say one of them, I have been around town, talked to 6 different mechanics and went on 5 different sights. What is the best way to remove paint from a 1969 mustang door. It has alot of old body work from the past, I just found out.
I was going to take it to a sand blaster, but I have herd to many bad stories. What about media blasting with glass and water? Is that to abrasive? I talked to my grandfather and he said doing it by hand is the way to go.

What do you guys think I should do? Any comments tips would be appreciated.
