Re: whats better/cheaper to buy new or used body parts
This hasn't been mentioned but I wouldn't sandblast the used parts unless you have a sandblasting company that really knows how to blast sheet metal. I have seen perfectly straight sheetmetal ruined by someone sandblasting that didn't know what they were doing. Chemical dipping or Soda blasting are a good alternative and won't ruin the metal.
