Update-
After letting the urethane/butyl in the window channels sit and dry out, I was able to get it off surprisingly easy with just a wire wheel. Happy about that.
I have 95% of the paint removed from the body shell. Just a few nooks and crannies left to get to.
I've never worked with body filler before...oh what a joy. It looks a hell of a lot easier on Youtube... I'm still getting a feel for how much hardener is needed when it's 85* out with 80% humidity. That stuff turns over *fast* with too much hardener. Also, trying to get a feel for how/how much to apply so I don't create more sanding than needed and/or dull body lines.
There are a few old rust repairs on the doors that need attention. I tackled the door with only one bad spot so far and I think it turned out ok. In the last photo here, I was about 90% done. I was able to blend it a bit better before I primed it.
