Media blasting advice., Full tub: cost and prep Options

[Series9]

For the guys who have blasted a full tub:

How much?
How long?
How much undercoating has to be removed before hand to get an effective strip?

I'm starting to think the TurtleGirl project should go this way.

I suppose you could do it with the harness in place, but I strongly recommend against it. I know it is a pain in the ass, but I removed mine. Pull everything from the engine compartment forward into the car. After you have it inside, and remove the harness from the logic relay panel under the passenger seat, you then pull everything from the front into the interior. Disconnect the fuse box and then pull the rear harness under the last piece of the transmission tunnel and the whole harness is out of the car. I labeled every branch and connection as I disconnected, took over 700 digital pictures and just take it slow and easy. It is real easy to scrap wires if you get in a hurry. Use lots and lots of silcone spray to pull the harness into the car from the engine compartment. I had removed everything (and I do mean everything - shift rod, fuel lines, etc.) from the car and removed the wiring harness last. This frees up some room in the tight quarters and remove a branch at a time thru the rear firewall. This may not make much sense now, but when you are doing it you will see what I mean. Look at the pictures in my most recent restoration thread and you will see me putting the wiring harness back into the car.
