Try sanding a rusted out truck like mine was! That sucks to the tenth power.

ALL of it?.....nope....just be sure to get the rust REAL good if you dont it will come back to haunt you......be sure to look out for bubbles in the paint...this is a indication the there is rust under the paint there
i would however go over the areas of paint that you are not removing with some 400 grit sandpaper, just to rough it up a little, this will give the primer something to "bite" onto

Hey man, its coming along well. I would suggest that you sand that primer and look for low spots. You might be suprised how many there are. These trucks are made with some pretty thin sheet metal and it dents easily. It will be easier to fix them now. My friend and I put close to 50 hours each into my truck just getting it ready for paint. Once we were done with all the body work, we put 3 coats of primer on, and sanded 3 times, and its still not a perfectly straight truck! Anyway, good luck!
