Sandblasting

Hey guys, i was pondering it and i eventullay want to do a frame off resto with my 77 but, im only 15 and i still have to talk my dad into letting me build a motor for it. What i want to know is sand blasting the whole body a good idea or just sanding it all down and only having the frame sandblasted better?
And does anybody know how to troubleshoot the avatar problems?
Thanks,
Cole

Re: Sandblasting

Welcome local kid! Blasting the body would be ok if you are going to be able to put it in primer and start the body work shortly. Here in CO bare metal can survive a little longer than in other areas of the country. Depending on the condition of your truck, and the final goal for it, you may not need to strip the whole thing down.
What is your issue with the avatar? Make sure the sizing is ok. Your pic can only be like 100x100 pixels I think.
