After cleaning off, it's easy to strip back to bare metal with the grinder and a twisted wire wheel or something like Norton rapid strip dics.

So, I apologize for not ever bringing this thread to a close…
I did get the car to the point where it was ready for bodywork and paint, and dropped it off with the owner. They had a shop lined up, but the delivery date kept getting moved back, and I fear that the car is just sitting in storage in Philadelphia somewhere still. My biggest fear is that the crates with the glass and bumpers and type 34 specific items get lost, or separated from the car.
