My "project" is located in Princeton NJ and I'm able to flat tow the roller.
Can you recommend a shop to do the media blasting? Who would you recommend to do the 914 specific metal work? Thanks. George |

We used this company for about 6- 911 chassis. They can epoxy prime after blasting. PM me if you have questions. Mark

Mark 6-911? Could you be more exacting LOL. I have used them also for some larger parts bumpers etc and a boat trailer years ago. They do great work.

I would recommend removing undercoating and floor tar yourself. Plastic media isn't very aggressive on those areas. Of course if your undercoating is in good shape, just tell them to work around it or blast enough to just rough up the surface. Pete Martelli was the guy in charge when I used to bring cars there.

Fantastic! Thank you!!!
They are 45 minutes from me so this is perfect. How about the metal work? My chassis is probably a 7.5 or 8 out of 10. It doesn't need a lot of metal work but I'd love to get an expert to give me their opinion. Has anybody used Translog? http://www.transloggt.com/ They specialize in Porsches and are about 2 hours away from PlasticMediaBlasting. Thanks. George |

I've used Translog (I live a few minutes from there) and they do good work. I've never had them do body work, just mechanical stuff. However, they are fully capable of doing body work too.
