I'm almost finished stripping the interior and will pull the remaining glass tomorrow on my 53 Coupe. I've pretty much convinced myself to pull the front fenders so I can clean all the underhood area of surface rust (mainly caused by the fine mist of battery acid over the years) and to give myself easy access to pull the engine.
There are multiple (at least 2, if not 3) layers of paint on the car, the last of which was applied very poorly. So the plan is to strip the car and have it media blasted (I'm thinking soda, with walnut shells or plastic to hit any rusted areas found under all that paint--not expecting much.)
Since I'll have the front fenders off, all the chrome and stainless, the engine, trans, under hood wiring and the dash pulled, should I go ahead and pull the rear fenders and the doors? Or will I struggle with alignment and so should leave them as is?
