What to do with the Body

I recently purchased a 1977' Triumph Spitfire from a guy in Raleigh, NC. the bad thing about this purchase is that the PO removed all the paint (down to bare metal) from the entire car 10 years ago and never put any priver or paint on it at all.

What is the best, easest way go get this car back to the bare metal so that I can Prime it and then paint it?

Blasting with frozen CO2 (dry ice) works well and leaves no residue. Prime it immediately after blasting.
