I think you have a great idea here OP. After all you don't have that much invested in the car. I think it would make a great mule car to learn how to brush finish aluminum on.

What's the worst that could happen? Let's say you manage to successfully destroy all the body panels, and get aluminum filings and sanding dust all over the car including those very visible but almost impossible places to clean. A little down the carburetor for good measure and just a dash into the fuel tank / fuel system.

At that point you would have a good handle on what it means / takes to brush finish a body. You could sell the current mule car for say 40 or 50 cents on the dollar, providing someone a good buy on a resto-project and you could buy a brand new one and start all over again.

Shucks with a little luck, this could not only be a lot of fun it could even get exciting. Imagine all the possibilities if you could just repeat the process two or three times!
