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)

QUOTE(anthony @ Aug 14 2004, 08:28 AM) I'm pretty sure that stripping, dipping, and priming costs around $3K on top of any paint and body work. If we are talking 4 cylinder cars here, I think it's still way easier to buy a really nice 4 cylinder car without rust for $5-6K and then just have it repainted to your specs. I would only do stripping and dippinng on an original six or if you were desperately attached to your 4 cylinder VIN number. You might be able to build a car that appears nice for $5-6k, but to build a car that is really, honestly well done takes $10k at least. Somewhere people got the mistaken impression that these are cheap cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
