Took me three days of 8hours ish each from start to finish. Definitely time consuming, but I enjoyed it!
Used an Amazon wire brush kit that is made for drills. They wires were brass so they are soft enough that they don't take much material out but blast the rust. They also sell nylon brushes that act as different grits of sandpaper. I did it by hand for the paint prep but the rust definitely came off with the drill.
If you do this, buy a good mask, good eye pro and a cheap harbor freight wired drill to save your frustrations due to dead batteries. Definitely worth it.
Il update again in a year or so , or sooner if I see a problem with the finish. Because I don't drive it in inclement weather I doubt I'll see anything with how dry it is in the garage /Nevada.
