I've had lots of success with that same set up...
Be warned... eventually the extra weight of that heavy wire will kill the bearings in your grinder.
I went through 3 different grinder before I completely finished a whole body, top and bottom.

And... lots of ruined shirts from the wire grabbing a hold of me and twisting up my shirt into a tangle mess! LOL!

I've used this before, but never on an entire car. It works for me.

the only problem I see with a heavy duty wire wheel is taking off too much metal
