I decided to do the sand blasting myself. It turned out to be much cheaper to rent the equipment, but it sure does
make a mess. Knowing now how severe the rust was, if I were to do this again, I would strip the car, sand blast it,
and then begin the rust repairs.

I sealed all the seams including the welds with Brushable Seam Sealer and caulk type seam sealer from Eastwood Tools.
Afterwards I painted the entire underside and engine compartment with Chassis Black also from Eastwood Tools. http://www.eastwoodco.com

I put plastic up all around the car, but sand still got everywhere.

And now I can start putting parts back on. It's a great turning point. First was the new leaf springs and
the factory 9" rear axle. I added the factory rear sway bar that I found on EBay.
