I have the 72 stripped down and have done some work on the body. I keep wanting to go to bare metal over the whole car but have heard of horror stories about chemical bleed through....Have any of you guys done this?, I know the heater tubes in the longs will be gone but I don't plan on heat anyway. (don't really need it)
Is sandblasting more economical?, I really want to start fresh. Give me your thoughts..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thanks Chris |

Hey Chris, I'm investigating the same ...
Sandblasting does not seem to be a good idea. It's too abrasive. Meaning you can blast holes in the sheetmetal. You need to beadblast if you want to use this method. Found some info about chemical dip on hotrodder sites. Somebody made that same remark about what could happen if not all the chemicals are washed off. Most of them did not seem to have any trouble though. Hope that helps |
