Weathor or not (need weather stripping)

My 84 iron duke is running solid but she needs weather stripping badly. The entire car needs the stripping redone. I do not have t tops (thank god) so no wet seats. I found a few kits on year one but i keep hearing thats not the best option. If you guys could point me at the most durable but cheap option id appreciate it. (Window clip strips are most importent then the back and front window.)

Ill kill two birds with one stone. I also need to sand and paint the body so i need some paint removal methods. I have a few dents and a bit of external rust so whats the smartest approach and some tricks?
(Painting tips?)

Answered my own question. Found classic industries after some digging.

Depends on the size of the area and the badness of the rust. Small area sand it out, huge area sand or media blast. Medium size use a rust remover, search Eastwood.com

As far as i can tell its all surface rust and vary small areas. Im mostly wondering about dents and how painting and finishing the body works when your dealing with dents.
