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 |

I would agree with everything that everyone else has said! I sandblasted my 73 a couple of years ago and to this day I can still tap around on it and get sand out of it, even after spending about 2 weeks blowing out all of the cracks and crevices before primering it. I also managed to warp the sail panel area just a little bit, but not too much. I have never tried the chemical dip, but right after blasting my 73, I had a 65 mustang convertible blasted with plastic beads and was very impressed with it, but the beads still get into places that you wouldn't think they could. So, from now on, until I can try dipping one, I will stick with the plastic bead blasting! |
