Did you guys disconnect the driveshaft at the rear and just leave it supported when you removed everything else?
If I go in to just replace subframe and trailing arm bushings and paint what is exposed' will I need to mess with the driveshaft?

Errrm I did the lot because I also re-booted the axles and painted them up with POR 15 and then of course I replaced the prop shaft centre mount, and so painted that up too. And then because of an incident of sand blowing into the diff I stripped that too and painted it up after replacing the seals on the axle outputs...
Oh by the way my method of de-rusting is to go for gold with an angle grinder with a wire brush attachment. I then de-grease with KBS aqua clean / (POR 15 version) marine clean and then sometimes I use KBS rust blast and then I finish off with POR 15.
You don't need to get as anal about your daily driver as me though... just do what Charlie says!
The Whiskey Dan Method is indeed a great inspiration to me too.
