Have you looked into beed or sand blasting. I got my mini blasted with sand. And it came up a treet, I have heard people say that it can distort panels, But i found that to be bull.

When my old man was restoring his Pontiac, he had the front guards and the bonnet acid dip, and sandblasted the remainder of the vehicle. Came up really good.

apparently, acid dipping strips paint in areas that you can't get paint into...

leaving bare metal to rust away out of view...

im board, so heres my thoughts
I have read that you can sand blast using a wider fan, the process has a different name, but basicly it is faster and prevents distortion.
Alternitivly there is a process called plastic media blasting which takes off as bad paint and bog, leaving a primable surface.
