    Thanks Pincher/TBird!!! Dropped the body off at the body shop, they're going to prime all the parts, and paint my frame/axle/wishbones since they are ready! Gonna bring the body back home and finish off patching the new rusty spots that were opened up!! :(

    So let it shake lose running down the highway... or eat the car up from the inside out? That don't sound good!

    My T coupe came out just fine from the blaster....and he used SAND.

    My rule of thumb is to listen to the actual person doing the blasting (or whatever service) before taking the advice of interent gurus....;):p:D


    Mmmmm,........chrome......

    Looking good Chad!!!!

    I had the same thing happen when i blasted my 27 Chad,you think you have desent metal until you blast it. My beltline opened up a ton of large holes,and pin holes down the side of rear window panel.I can't imagine a guy blasting with no mask or vent system. Keep up the good work .......PINCHER
