As a newbie with car gutted, engine out, floor replaced and stiffeners added [thanks CFR and Restoration Design], now I need to think about final cleanup. After reading William Harris's plans for baking soda blasting ,that sounds like the way to go. Many have offered varing opinions and I would like to find your opinions on pros and cons of each. Help please. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

do a search here on the board. this has been discussed in detail (with pictures) before.
i had my car blasted. liked it until i first drove it again. it's been over 1 year now and i still have sand coming out of the cracks everywhere! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) i have seen a few acid-dipped tubs by now and they look & feel like brand new out of the factory. it's amazing how clean they are. yes, you need to get the heater-mufflers out of the longs first, but that also gives you the opportunity to fix & primer those from the inside. in any case, if i had to do it again, acid would be the only way to go for me ...
