We dont sand blast cars. See ANY of the "sand" threads 3+ years after Andy had his car blasted.

He still has sand falling out of nooks and cranny's!

I see sudjestions but no locations, besides the key is to clean the sand out before assembly

We had Andy's tub on a rottisserie. How else do we get the sand out? (you dont)

The first time we drove it.. it filled my eyes with sand..

Listen carefully. I'm not f-ing with you.

you will NEVER I say NEVER get all the sand out. It is being forced into every single tiny crack, and even blowing compressed air will not get it all out. My dad restores antique tractors (yeah..redneck) also, and he had one sandblasted before painting..keep in mind that that was over SIX years ago. This tractor also is not a beauty queen, and my dad actually uses it (sometimes)...but back to the point. It still has sand coming out of crack after that long....and there are not that many places for sand to hide on a tractor...multiply that by like a million on a 914.... with the above posts. Soda or walnut blasting would be better. The best would be acid dipping...but expensive.

Ok, say I'm a convert, where in the fuch is a soda blaster in Riverside, CA.

I am doing all of this long distance and I can't get out there for a few weeks.

I would like to have this set up before I get out there. Yes it is my fault I

didn't get a phonebook the last time I was out there. But now I need to deal

with it. Any help would be appricated. I need a beer.
