soda blasting Options

[sk8kat1]

soda blasting , has anyone had this done to strip thier cars down to metal -- the idea is that it doesn't heat up the netal and possibly distort it .. also doesn't blast right through bondo so it can be dealt with on a area by area basis .

any thoughts , expirances and what did it cost you ?

I had my 914-6 tub soda blasted about two years ago. I have some pics and will try to post tomorrow. I think I spent $1000 tub only. We removed most of the undercoating and seam sealer but the origional paint an undercoat were not all removed. Last month I had the remainder of the tub and the other parts "media blasted" walnut shells I think. I worked with the soda blaster and we worked all day and used anout 250 Lbs of soda. I did not see the media work, only the result . Oh ya the media did remove the bondo, soda would only if we really worked at it.
