And that comes from a tightwad that hates to farm things out, as you get older its easier to do.
Sandblasting sucks it gets everywhere, not to mention the left over mess.
I dont even use my cabinet that keeps it contained.
I've done my own(sucks), had mobile guys come out and blast a frame(better)
and sent parts out and paid someone and they kept the mess(best)

I know you want to do it yourself but believe me work smart (not hard) save your energy for the funner stuff. Burn out on a project is a real problem, not trying to discourage you just the opposite
want to see your truck get done.

The OrrieG method is a good idea.

Keep us informed !

Your right is better to work smart NONHOG.

and also i came to notice another problem
i live in Los Angeles California so is very
crowed people snitch to much and also to "sandblast" a permit is needed
so i guess sandblast at home is not an option....


Does any one know about a place near Los Angeles
that can do my sandblast??????


or is it possible.
not to sand blast
but to grind and steel brush the whole
frame chassis?????
and then put rust converter, then rust enabler, then epoxy primer????

just a thought here

thanks once again!!

that sounds like A LOT of work!! sandblasting, IMO, will make it much cleaner much faster and much cheaper. it can clean places you couldnt think about wire brushing or grinding. it should cost around 100 dollars to get a frame blasted. thats @ the high end i do believe. i wouldnt set down and strip a frame for 3 or 4 hundred bucks by hand. JMO, of course

I know of a good place. Its in Santa Fe Springs, good prices and they are the only ones I trust to blast my rides. They blasted my cab inside and out for 250.
