Good luck Rich. Hope you manage it. Would be impressive to see the lowlight and the '50 vert bust out at the same time! 8)
Would like to fly over for the '09 Classic. |

Nothing like media blasting too, so show you what is REALLY there. I did "all" the metal work on my '57, then had it blasted.... then did some MORE metal work.
No more. Blast what ya got, then start he work.....
Looking good Rich, keep us posted. |

What kills me is that some people argue about it.... and will spend DAYS with wire wheels and/or chem strippers and swear it is "just as good". There is NO substitute for media blasting old car bodies IMO.
None. |

You got that right, start with a clean slate. Here is my 55 deluxe after media blasting. This was glass beads for the paint and old body work and sand for the rust.

I called Matt and set a date in 3 weeks to have it worked on again, I'll update it as soon as i know the outcome 8)
Beautiful Rich. I can't see any areas of concern from that pic. I am sure they're minor. |
