I don't know why you all grind these cars down like that. Use paint stripper for paint and bondo removal. You will see all repairs and grinder marks. . Stripper, Razor scraper, with a box of new blades and steel wool. DA the car with 80 when done to locate dents. You can see the dark crease in the one quarter that showed up with the DA. You get a much better platform to start with. Lines stay crisp.

I use a razor blade also to remove old paint. If a car has been painted a half a dozen times, the razor blade will get it down to original primer pretty easily. If I find a wad of filler, I hit it with a propane torch or heat gun and get a gasket scraper up under it and it pops right off without enough heat to warp a panel. It doesn't take long to find out if a car was fixed back in the day by a skilled body man or a sculpture.....lol.
