So
I would like to strip body of car down... Have taken a prior car to the shop, to use walnut shells Would like to do this on my own I DO NOT have a large compressor...most I have is the portable 110volt that I can carry around to do home construction repairs etc a)Will "that size(sorry, don't know how many gallons off hand, bigger than a breadbox, I'd guess 5 gallons?) do the job..I appreciate that the smaller the compressor, the longer the job takes b)where would I buy the soda attachments...and what kind Duh...pretty vague/uneducated/uninformed question... Thx Paul |

I agree. Many blasting companies do heavy gauge American car bodies and are not familiar with lightweight steel. Though I have never measured, I was told the bodywork on 914’s are even thinner steel than standard 911’s of the same time period.
